Whimsical Garden Statues

We have a lot of Canadian Geese in Ontario. There's a few golf courses in the area that can, on occasion, be inundated with them. I really enjoy their honking as the flock flies overhead.
These whimsical garden geese statues are a pleasing decorative display in the landscape. There's nothing more delightful than walking out in the garden and happening upon a friendly duck or even a pair of geese. Geese are usually seen in pairs and this couple is no exception.
Check out these adorable dog statues; one with his head in the ground and the other puppy statue looking quite perplexed. Get them both; they're perfect together!

This delightful lizard garden art is a decorative garden light and it's made out of solid brass in an Old Bronze finish. I just know you're going to adopt this delightful Brass Lizard Light and will be enjoying it on your deck or patio. Like a chameleon, this lizard will patina over time, creating interesting aging elements in its hand-etched skin pattern.
Depending on specific climate conditions, this accent light may ultimately turn verdigris." I think it's wonderful when you can buy garden art that weathers gracefully over time, especially those verdigris patinas. Mind you if you like the Old Bronze finish on solid brass, then keep it polished every year.

- I like to keep a couple ornamental creatures like rabbits and dogs in my garden to give it some character and those plants something to play with! Also, I jokingly keep a scarecrow to prevent would be vandals from messing with my fruits.

- The demand for George's sculptures and outdoor garden statues eventually led to casting of George's designs into stone, so that multiple images could be produced.
After several years of working as a sculptor at American Greeting Cards in Cleveland, Ohio, George decided to apply his artistic skills to stone.
It literally changed his life! Soon he was winning awards at art shows and exhibits, sculpting commissioned pieces for the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and carving custom stone panels for a school, library and village clock tower. Even a custom tiny stone Christmas ornament was commissioned for the White House Christmas tree. - Judie Bomberger's Whimsical Art Sculpture, Mirrors, Clocks, Garden Art
