Little Red Riding Hood Sculpture In Honor Of My Mother Mrs. Elmer Weers

I went to Artist Reception & Exhibit Opening at the MacNider Art Museum in Mason City, Iowa, for the river city sculptures on parade. For more info on the Art Museum, go to: macniderart.org.20170508_170330 I interviewed an artist from Bad River Artworks located in South Dakota. I interviewed Mr. Lee Leuning. He made the baseball player and the girl on the scooter read a book with her cat looking up at her. I asked him his inspiration for his sculptures, and his reply was Americana, Nostalgia, and Norman Rockwell. Mr. Leuning said he paid attention to detail and depicted his sculptures as they would look if they were alive. I am very impressed with his incredible attention to detail in his sculptures. To learn more about them, go to: badriverart.com.

I noticed another sculpture I liked of a wise old owl sitting by the library on a pile of books. The owl’s detail and appearance were perfect in every way.

I saw the sculpture I purchased to honor my Mother on the River City Sculptures on Parade route, a 1.7-mile walk designed to lead participants on a looping course to the Cultural Crescent and back to the central core of Mason City, Iowa; for more info. Go to: sculpturesonparade.com. New sculptures decorate the downtown Mason City area. The Mason City Chamber of Commerce helped me buy the statue to honor my Mother.

New sculptures have been placed in Mason City, Iowa, and are available to be purchased. The Mason City Iowa Chamber of Commerce at masoncityia.com will help you through the purchase of your sculpture. Sculptures are an excellent way to honor or remember a loved one or to support a cause. The sculptures beautify Mason City, Iowa.

Del and Martha Pettigrew made the Little Red Riding Hood sculpture I purchased to honor my Mother. They live in central Nebraska. Part of what drives their careers are the desire to capture the beauty of the twitch of a lean wolf alert for prey. Works of great size, strength, dignity, and serenity come from their small studio. I loved the great attention they took in making the sculpture Little Red Riding Hood that I purchased. To learn more about them, go to: westernartandarchitecture.com.

My Mother was a Young Adult Librarian at the Mason City Public Library in Mason City, Iowa, for many years. I purchased a sculpture called Little Red Riding Hood to honor my Mother. My Mother loved to read books and valued education. The statue is placed on the library grounds to honor my Mother. My Mother worked at a college library and was an English teacher for one year until she met my Father, and they married. She worked at the Mason City Public Library after she was married. She loved helping people at the library. A sculpture is a great way to honor a loved one that has passed away. The statue will be a memorial to them for many years. In July, the Mason City Public Library will be dedicated to the Little Red Riding Hood sculpture. For more info on the Mason City Public Library, visit mcpl.org. The Little Red Riding Hood Sculpture will keep my Mother’s vision of learning and knowledge through books alive for many years.
