After lunch (which included acai sangria), we strolled over three of Denver's bridges toward downtown. On the way, we found this:
Photo by Jeffrey Beall (his is better than mine).
National Velvet is by artist John McEnroe (not the tennis player, I presume). The sculpture was dedicated a year ago today.
Denver does like its primary colors, doesn't it?
I have sudden urge to prepare kidney beans for dinner.
See what my classmates are showing and telling over at Mel's Show & Tell.

Hey! I talked about red today, too! Kinda. You'll see. http://thecasualperfectionist.com/2009/11/confessions-of-a-casual-perfectionist-day-18/ (Red is the fastest color.)
That's a lot of red.
Funny, it kind of puts me off kidney beans...
Ewwwwwww.
That grosses me out. :)
I'm so gross. Due to my recent post, I saw it and thought something else entirely.
I just love art that makes me say "WTF is that supposed to be?"
:)
Lucky you getting a daytime date with the hubby!
Acai Sangria? Hook me up!
That statue is odd to say the least. Municipal art is always interesting and ecclectic.
Hmm that is very...red and...we shall say interesting.
What a cool, happy, kidney-bean-sculpture-thingy :) Thanks for sharing!
yes, that it odd... to say the least. Not sure I appreciate it as much as some...LOL!
I LOVE Denver, I graduated high school in Littleton... I miss it so much!
That's an interesting sculpture!
I think I like it :-).
OMG...that thing gives the evil Bronco a run for its money in the WTF department. Maybe it looks better IRL?
That is a very strange looking sculpture. I've been staring at it for several minutes now, unable to pull my eyes away. Odd!
Hope you had a great day out with your hubby!
What an odd sculpture. Hey, I keep forgetting you live in Denver. I will be there at Christmas! What part do you live in?
Kids in school? A day off with your husband? Sounds like heaven...
I know that that time will come quickly enough, so I'm trying to enjoy Oscar at this age, but the thought of having a "date" like that...sigh.
I feel the need to go get a giant pooper scooper. Hmm, I guess you need to see the sculpture in person.
That's really cool. It looks kind of like sausages to me.
That is some weird art! Colorful...and kidney bean-like.
I'm glad you and hubby got some time to yourselves.
Hmm... I think I like it. But I couldn't say why. (Other than I love red.) Really no idea what it's supposed to be or represent though...
That is a very interesting sculpture. I don't quite know what to think!
Wouldn't it be cool if those were all water balloons and you were at a party with, say, a lot of 8-year old boys....or a few silly drunk adults! ...it was the acai sangria!
Well, that looks like something you DO NOT want in your body.
Wow. I don't really know what to say.
Acai Sangria? That sounds delightful!
I like that hue of red...but the whole sculpture...a bit much?
Denver has such crazy artwork! It all makes Oklahoma seem so very ordinary . . .
