Why do people purchase art?   As a residential Realtor ® in College Station, I have the opportunity to view artwork on a regular basis when showing different homes.  I've also come to love viewing the original artwork that can be different galleries and shops around the College Station and Bryan areas.  Lately, I find myself asking, "Why do people choose the artwork that they choose for their home or office?"   (The following artwork can currently be found in College Station, TX.) Did it match your furniture?    < Painting by Frederic Remington on display at the MSC Forsyth Center Galleries on the Texas A&M campus.   Was it a picture of a place that you visited?    Manhatan Beach, CA ,,,,by Benjamin Knox.  Note the picture is somewhat distorted due to the flash and photography.  Benjami... 08/08/2008

Where is this pretty girl feeding her ducks located? Bryan, College Station, Navasota, Caldwell and Franklin have such interesting pieces of art throughout their towns. Where could this one be? So, to win this contest you must answer these questions  (that I like) - 1. Where is this located? 2. What is the name of the park nearest this statue? 3. Who won the “Where Am I” contest and is now called “Bright”? Be the first to post all three correct answers on The Century Tree Reader and you will forever be known as “Goose”.
