This wonderful new art piece in Edmond features three young boys sitting on a log, arms around each others' backs, and enjoying life. Each boy is wearing summer clothes, barefoot, with legs extended down (except the boy to the viewer's left, who has his right leg propped up on the log. They are gazing upward together. Two stone pillars prop up the horizontal log that the boys sit on, which is about 4' off the ground.
Several small critters are incorporated into the sculpture: bird, squirrel, frog, butterfly and turtle.
