We have a winner this week..Gayle Rich-Boxman who correctly guessed that this statue is outside of World Class Wines..a place I recently blogged about. You go Gayle! and thanks for playing!

"Man Eating Dog Food" Sculpture outside of World Class Wines, answer to Where is it Wednesday....somewhere in Lake Oswego, Oregon 6/22/11

Where is it Wednesday...somewhere in Lake Oswego, Oregon

Each week I'll be posting a new picture on Wednesday morning. The title of the blog will have the City where the picture is taken and I'll post the answer Wednesday evening...not only here on my blog, but on facebook business page (please click like and add yourself there) as well as tweetin it on my Twitter page as well.

Do you know where it is? Care to guess? Comments are welcome. I'll post the answer tonight.

Hint: This statue sits outside of a place I recently blogged about. Yep, right outside of World Class Wines in Lake Oswego.

This Original art sculpture by Richard Beyer sits on the side walk in Downtown Lake Oswego is part of the Art Counsil of Lake Oswego's Continuing rotating "art without walls" program. According to the artists website, this piece can be purchased for $9,500.00. This is just one of the many sculptures and art pieces throughout Lake Oswego and will sit in this spot until July 2012 enjoying a two year run.

I love this idea of having sculpture and art throughout the town so everyone can enjoy! This sculpture is sure to be a great conversation piece..come on, you know you want to buy it!

I guess it's probably a tavern. I can't help noticing how many statues you have where you live and they're all really nice.

Hi Gayle..DING DING DING! You are correct that this is the location of the statue!! It is indeed right outside of World Class Wines. I'll have more on the artist and name of this piece later when I get off from my Farmer's market committee duty!

Hi Tammy..LOL, don't do it!

Jun 22, 2011 10:41 AM

Hi Jill, this one was quite odd..at first at a quick glance I thought is was a man, but then when I walked by I noticed it had a tail..hmmmm..so further inspection It wasn't a man at all! Lot's of our local cities have local art all throughout. Lake Oswego is particularly know for this.

Jun 22, 2011 10:43 AM

Hi John...HA! you are just giving someone else a chance at it. You probably had the answer as soon as you looked at the picture :) . Hope all is good in your beautiful neck of the woods.

Yippppeeeeee--I'm a WEINER!!! I think I'll go have a glass of wine and TOAST MYSELF....'cause I'm sittin' out here all by my lonesome.

Cindy,

This was a great WIIW! I could not connect the statue with a location/business/property. Good job and congratulations to Gayle! I saw the tail, but could not get an image of this online. It seemed like a statue of a "rodent-man," but nothing came up. Never could figure out what he was holding. From the front, it looks like a mug. From the side, there is something coming out of the mug he is going to eat with some utensil. Nonetheless, a very interesting statue! Thank you for the fun!

Hi Gayle...hmmm..Wiener sounds familiar somehow...now where have I heard that name...LOL You enjoy that glass of wine! Well deserved.

Jun 22, 2011 05:47 PM

Hi John, it is an interesting sculpture for sure. I'm not quite getting the title.."Man eating dog food" ...but sure there is some meaning in there..since it's not a man. Too deep for me to think about..LOL. It can be yours for a mere $9500 buckaroos. He'll even ship it to you. I'd like to see the UPS person bring that up to your front door!

Jun 22, 2011 05:51 PM

Oh, girlfriend, never had that glass of vino--went and took a run instead!! But, it IS the weekend, so, just might have to make up for lost time.

OMG--just got the Weiner pun, doooohhhhhh!!!

Jun 24, 2011 09:37 AM

Hi Gayle, Oh, you are so good! Such a nice healthy choice. Now it's Vino time!
