I want something a little classy or meaningful, but it doesn’t have to be the most amazing gift in the world. I have a little cash this year, so I’m willing to spend up to 200 bucks if it’s worth it. She likes art, tea, music, gardening, and other stuff.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I am already decorating the tables with antique green bottles and pink depression glass vases filled with pink and white w/green flowers. Peonies are my favorite but may add others. I need other ideas. The wedding is in a tent at my fiances parents house which is a large 200 year old victorian home with lush gardens all around. Thanks for your input!!

Episode #109: Jeff Koons tells a story from his childhood about finding a sense of self through making art, asserting that art has the potential to inspire similar transformations within each viewer. Jeff Koons plucks images and objects from popular culture, framing questions about taste and pleasure. His contextual sleight-of-hand, which transforms banal items into sumptuous icons, takes on a psychological dimension through dramatic shifts in scale, spectacularly engineered surfaces, and subliminal allegories of animals, humans, and anthropomorphized objects. The subject of art history is a constant undercurrent, whether Koons elevates kitsch to the level of Classical art, produces photos in the manner of Baroque paintings, or develops public works that borrow techniques and elements of seventeenth-century French garden design. Organizing his own studio production in a manner that rivals a Renaissance workshop, Koons makes computer-assisted, handcrafted works that communicate through their meticulous attention to detail.

Ascott House Gardens, Buckinghamshire, UK | A view past the Venus fountain towards the Chiltern Hills (8 of 22)

Image by ukgardenphotos

Ascott House Gardens, Buckinghamshire, UK: The attractive gardens at Ascott House, a UK National Trust property in Buckinghamshire, England have an extensive mixture of formal, informal and natural garden features.

A visit to Ascott House provides a lot of variety and different types of garden environment. It is particularly impressive in spring time with massed plantings of spring bulbs as far as the eye can see. The wide herbaceous borders in summer are excellent too and all year interest is provided by the land art in the Lynn garden.

This photo is a view of the Venus fountain with views of the English countryside in the background. It was taken through a gap in a variegated holly hedge.

Details Features range from fields of daffodils, narcissi and fritillaries beneath mature trees in spring; flowering meadows of tulips and spring bulbs; traditional English herbaceous borders with stunning planting in high summer; colorful bedding plant schemes surrounding impressive and grand fountains (such as the Venus and Cupid / Eros fountains by the famous American sculptor Thomas Waldo Story); a picturesque lily pond and thatched summerhouse; neatly clipped yew hedges and even a topiary sundial.

A relatively new feature of the garden is an innovative area devoted to ‘land art’ or ‘earth sculpture’ where mounds of earth and ditches (echoing the earth works of Iron Age Britain on the nearby Chiltern Hills) are planted with grasses, ornamental trees and combined with tasteful water features. The many shades of green are soothing to the eye and give this part of the garden (called the Lynn Garden) a very tranquil atmosphere.

Location: Ascot House, Wing, near Leighton Buzzard, Buckinghamshire, LU7 0PS, UK

We were told that the architect and the landscape architect fought over this – it was apparently a big controversy in architect-geek, landscape-geek, and art-geek circles.

Garden of the Inept Administrator: The Bamboo Bank by Wen Zhengming

Garden of the Inept Administrator: The Bamboo Bank by Wen Zhengming
China, dated 1551
Bamboo are planted around the low mound Forming a bank of bamboo around the edge. In full summer it already seems to be autumn, So deep is the wood, one cannot tell when it is noon. In its midst is one who has abandoned the world, Enjoying himself with a lute and a goblet. When a wind stirs, he too wakes from drunkenness To sit and listen to the rain on the bamboo leaves

Garden of the Inept Administrator: The Canglang Pavillon by Wen Zhengming

Garden of the Inept Administrator: The Canglang Pavillon by Wen Zhengming
China, dated 1551
Once a smal pavillion was built by Canglang pond, The green water still surrounds its empty railings; Here there are always wind and moon to offer to the fisherman. And boys, too, singing "Wash your cap strings!" Rivers and lakes fill the whole land, enough for my enjoyment, For a hundred years the fish and birds have forgotten them selves; Shunjing [Su Zimie, 1008-1048] is dead, Du Ling [Du Fu, 712-770] far away- As a paragon of hermits who will compete with me.

It will be my first time visiting Amarillo, is there any nice places to go and visit? Looking for some good romantic/original restaurants as well as a couple of good places to take my girlfriend while we are there. It could be paid activities but I’m going for the “simple” places like a stroll through the park kinda thing. I heard theres a botanical gardens and an art museum are they worth it? Any good (and safe) parks? We’re both still young by the way.

You could try the convention and visitor’s bureau website. Maybe visit the courthouse where Oprah was tried on slander charges.

You do very well with words yourself. Very few people here have grammar and spelling as good as yours. You are fully able to do this yourself, and after all it’s what you would say that counts, not what somebody else would say.

Biography Barbara Kruger was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1945. After attending Syracuse University, the School of Visual Arts, and studying art and design with Diane Arbus at Parson’s School of Design in New York, Kruger obtained a design job at Condé Nast Publications. Working for Mademoiselle Magazine, she was quickly promoted to head designer. Later, she worked as a graphic designer, art director, and picture editor in the art departments at House and Garden, Aperture, and other publications. This background in design is evident in the work for which she is now internationally renowned. She layers found photographs from existing sources with pithy and aggressive text that involves the viewer in the struggle for power and control that her captions speak to. In their trademark black letters against a slash of red background, some of her instantly recognizable slogans read “I shop therefore I am,” and “Your body is a battleground.” Much of her text questions the viewer about feminism, classicism, consumerism, and individual autonomy and desire, although her black-and-white images are culled from the mainstream magazines that sell the very ideas she is disputing. As well as appearing in museums and galleries worldwide, Kruger’s work has appeared on billboards, buscards, posters, a public park, a train station platform in Strasbourg, France, and in other public commissions. She has taught at the California Institute of Art, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and …
