The Sólfar sculpture in Reykjavík.  I started this one many months ago and it languished on the floor of my studio.  I really thought it was a bust but one day as I looked at it, I saw some promise I had not seen in a while.  Then a few days ago I saw where some color changes would fit well and possibly make it come alive.  There is a lot more detail work here than I am used to using!

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is a located in Bentonville in Benton County.  This is an incredibly impressive, world-class facility.  It's collection is large and growing with some of America's great luminary artists represented:  Sargent, Remington, Rothko, geez I could go on and on.  It is a must see and is already generating a massive influx of tourists to the region.  I highly recommend the trip here to visit.  I will have to try to do a post about the contents of the museum itself here in the near future.

This is county 50 of 75 finally.  I am way off the mark for my goal of twenty counties this year but I have a trip planned soon to the southeastern corner of the state which should knock out a several more.
