Street artist making a crow sculpture out of available snow at CENTRO stop (Washington Street).
When life gives you lemons, they say make lemonade; when life gives us snow, maybe we should just make a snowman (or ice sculpture).
We saw this gentleman waiting for the Centro Bus on Saturday. In the 10 minutes before his bus came he took inspiration from the nearby gargoyles and architecture on Washington Street, along with the invasion of crows he notices in the city and came up with a pretty powerful piece of pedestrian art.

Bronze statue at Libba Cotton Grove, sculpted by Sharon BuMannIt’s hard to understand the precision and detail that goes into the work of Sharon BuMann, the sculptor best known for her work at the NYS Fair (with butter) and the Jerry Rescue monument in Clinton Square.
Her latest work, a bronze of famous folk singer Libba Cotten, will be formally dedicated in a few weeks. Here’s a piece written by columnist Sean Kirst describing Cotten’s musical influence.
BuMann was one of the first artists we featured on this site. We visited her studio about 10 years ago to watch her work. She is a great artistic ambassabor for our region and certainly a living legend.
