Outdoor Garden Sculpture

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. The warmer weather translates to a lot more time being spent in your beautiful backyard to enjoy the outdoors and taking dips in the pool. Even when you don't go for a swim, it doesn't get more relaxing than sitting by the water with a cold drink at your side and a great book in your hands. With that in mind, you need the right type of decor to add to the relaxing poolside atmosphere. Animal garden statues can work especially well as poolside decor because they can help make you feel as if you are actually sitting by the shores of a distant, tropical sea.

Two such animal garden sculptures are the Giant White Pelican and the Giant Loggerhead Sea Turtle Statue. Both of these sculptures were carefully sculpted to show the type of details that make them look as if they are going to come to life. The Giant White Pelican has the same look and saunter as the real pelicans that hang out at seaside docks in search of scraps, while the Loggerhead Turtle sculpture looks ready and able to slip into the water for a few laps around the pool.

Garden fairies are one of the more exquisite types of outdoor statues. Sculpted with graceful lines, curves, and beautiful details, they can punctuate the backyard with elegance in a distinctly magical way. Although there are some fairy statues that show a bit of color, most are painted in classic, faux stone hues. There's nothing wrong with that classical look but it's still nice to have a few fairy statues that are painted in some of the same bright colors as the flower patches where they "live".

Folks hoping to combine bright colors with the elegance and magic of the fairy statue will be happy to know about the Pondering Pixie Stained Glass Sculpture. This wonderful work of art is one of the most colorful fairy sculptures you will ever see. Our happy little pixie is brought to life with delicate flesh tines, pink lips, and tousled brown hair. She also sports a beautiful green leaf dress with a reddish waist band but her colors truly show when the sun hits her sparkling stained glass wings. Inspired by the orange and pale blue shades shown by a Monarch Butterfly, her wings are made of 75 different, copper-foiled, hand cut pieces of stained glass. This pixie shines with color both inside the home and when placed outdoors and will become a bright spot in any garden.

Comments: I purchased one less than a year ago and loved it immediately. It was displayed out in the garden in full sun and the colors now have become very dull and faded. I don't care. I purchased three more as Christmas gifts.

The gargoyle is one of the more interesting and intriguing types of decor. Unlike animal garden sculptures that show realistic depictions of real animals such as lions and bears, the typical gargoyle statue shows a mythical, intimidating monster. Their appearance couldn't really be described as being pleasant in any way so it seems rather odd that they have been a popular form of garden statuary for centuries. However, long before they made their way into gardens, gargoyles were a common feature on structures for thousands of years. Gargoyles in the form of lions can be seen on ancient Egyptian structures and the ancient Greeks used gargoyles with leering faces on many of their temples. Although those gargoyles were used as sculptural decor, their main function was to divert water off of roofs.

During the Middle Ages in Europe, gargoyles had the same function but this was combined with a lot more symbolism. Gargoyles began to take on more frightening forms to scare off any evil spirits that might want to enter a castle or church as well as to remind church goers that the devil and his minions were always watching and waiting to tempt the unwary. In present times, we use gargoyles in the garden and on our houses because they are simply interesting, unique decor. Whether you display a cute statue like Emmett the Gargoyle or a masterpiece of terror like Scatheus, Guardian of the Shadows, a gargoyle in the garden provides a dramatic touch.

Marble sculptures may have been a feature of Roman villas but the height of decorating the garden with statues was reached during the Victorian era. As the United Kingdom became the wealthiest country on Earth, well to do British families filled extensive gardens with exquisite sculptures. Stone garden angels, impressive statues of lions, and hundreds of other beautiful sculptures were displayed on the grounds of manicured estates. While filling the garden with statues during Victorian days was limited to the wealthy, at present times, garden sculptures are so affordable that just about anyone can turn their backyard into an elegant Victorian garden. Follow these three tips for a backyard that rivals the  majesty of any Victorian era garden:

• Put several classic garden statues on display: Classic sculptures of deities and creatures from Greek myths were a common feature of Victorian gardens. Display beautiful statues such as Hebe, the Goddess of Youth and an authentic replica of the Venus de Milo to give your garden an elegant touch.
• Include a stone garden angel or two: Get an angel statue like the Glory del Cielo sculpture to add classic, angelic beauty to the backyard.
• Buy one or more stone lion sculptures: Lions were displayed in Victorian gardens because they are a sign of nobility, power, and majesty. Give your backyard a noble look with the Lion Of Florence Sentinel Statue.

The garden is meant to be decorated with statuary. Whether the backyard is used to grow vegetables, for dinner parties, or for playing badminton, it's also the perfect place for displaying a stone garden angel or a collection of classic Greek garden statues. Sculptures give your place a regal touch, allow you to express feelings about your faith, and can be used to add both drama and peace to the backyard. The fact that statues aren't carved from slabs of marble also make them much more affordable than the sculptures that graced Roman villas and Victorian era gardens. Although you could certainly find sculptors who are willing to create a marble statue for thousands of dollars,nowadays, it's far easier to buy garden statues that are made from quality resin.

Resins are used as the medium of choice for high quality statues because this material is much more affordable and weighs much less than granite or marble. The fact that it's also much more pliable than natural stone means that it can be used to create incredibly realistic animal garden sculptures such as the Catch of the Day Grand Bear Sculpture, or Zarien the Zebra. Although resins can be used to make beautifully delicate garden fairies, they are also engineered to last for decades (and should last for centuries with proper care).

Animals have been used as inspiration for art since the stone age. Although the types of animals that have been portrayed in paintings and sculptural form have changed over the years, artists still hope to capture their expression of natural, wild beauty. One type of animal that has become a popular subject of animated films, documentaries, and other art forms in recent times is the penguin. Penguins lend themselves to being one of the more popular animals because they have such a unique, striking appearance. Although they are definitely birds, these flightless animals seem to be in a category of their own. They zip through the cold waters of the southern hemisphere on flipper-like wings, have a peculiar waddling gait on seemingly legless feet, and look as if they are wearing tuxedoes.

It's hard not to like these dapper, aquatic birds and even more so when you put a statue of them in the garden. The Positively Penguins sculpture captures the strong bond between parent and baby penguin with realistic details and bold, hand-painted colors. The yellow feathers in the crest of the very realistic Rockhopper Penguin statue shows why penguins look like living works of art.

Whether you put these statues by the pool or next to the back door, these beautiful animal garden sculptures will make a statement in any backyard.

The Walking Crocodile statue is another item that will make your place of business or backyard the talk of the town.

Comments: This statue is definitely worth the money-the size is impressive and it really looks like stone. (without the disadvantage of weighing hundreds of pounds) I was nervous to make such a large purchase without seeing it in person but I have no regrets as it surpasses my expectations. It is on our porch in the line of sight as you come through our front door and adds just the feeling I wanted. You will not be disappointed.

People have been decorating their gardens with statues for thousands of years. Sculptures of deities were a key feature of Greek and Roman gardens but they also used a variety of secular statuary. After the fall of the Roman Empire, garden sculptures in most parts of Europe were limited to the grounds of churches and other sacred sites until the Renaissance. As an increasing number of wealthy benefactors supported the arts, some of the most stunning sculptures and garden statuary of all time were created. Although subsequent centuries saw garden statues becoming a common feature in many a backyard, the Victorian era seemed to take garden statue decor to new heights.

Victorian estates in England and her colonies showcased dozens and even hundreds of stone garden angels, beautiful marble statues, urns, fountains, and many other sculptures. Some of the most prized items put on display were exquisite bronze fountains and bronze statuary. Bronze pieces continue to have a timeless quality that makes them fine heirloom items and centerpiece sculptures to this day. The bronze Windblown sculpture expresses creativity and high quality art by showing a maiden catching her flowing dress as it blows in the breeze.  The Birth of Venus Bronze Sculpture is another heirloom piece that replicates Boticelli's famous painting in immortal bronze form.

The backyard garden is a place where we can go to feel the calm and soothing atmosphere of green space. The rustle of leaves in a backyard Maple as the wind comes dancing through the streets can be an invisible balm for the mind. The gentle gurgling water in outdoor water fountains provide us with the much needed sound of nature's voice. Life in the garden is also expressed by the voices of cheerful birds as they give their morning songs and the happy chirping of sparrows at a beautiful backyard feeder.

In an increasingly urban world, those bits of backyard nature offer relaxation and rejuvenation. The right type of garden statuary can add to the wonder and peace that green space brings to the mind, body, and soul. Asian-themed sculptures like the Budh Gaya Buddha Statue represent the beautiful calm of feeling in synch with your natural surroundings.
