Shoot XVIII - "Whistler's Mother in LEGOs"

And, the state of the week was "Little Rhody" or officially known as "Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" - quite the lengthy name.

"Whistler's Mother"

As I mentioned in the previous blog, Nathan Sawaya challenged himself to recreate some of the world's famous artworks. Here we have Whistler's Mother" created with 15,000 bricks! Google "The Art of the Brick" to see many of his works or check out my website to see the ones I shot. And, if this exhibit is within driving distance, go see it!!!

Thought for the week. . .
