My little blog concerning outdoor statues
A lawn, for example, should be properly landscaped with mown grass and trimmed hedges before it affords a fit background for a statue. It would be an extremely counterproductive measure to overdo the decorations. The last thing you would want is to crowd your yard with sculptures like in a garage sale. They ought to be selected carefully so as to properly blend into the kind of yard you have. At times, a simple gnome or a single fountain with stone birds could suffice.
