The Shaw Family spent Saturday afternoon at the Las Olas National Fine Arts Festival at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale or LONFAF at the MOFL (not to be confused with the Las Olas Art and Craft Fair on Las Olas Drive or LOAcF on LODr that was two weeks ago to which we were not in attendance. More like Arts and Crap Fair right? right? This guy knows what I am talking about...)
As we were driving home on this day that reminds you why anyone that can moves to Florida for the winter Erin asked me what my favorite piece or artist was. I would have to say it was the piece above. I didn't catch the artists name or piece's title but I call it Classic AmericanO!
It speaks to me of the contrast between the Americana imagery green grass, baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and lemonade of my childhood with the new urban-American pastime (soccer) and its fans (communists).
Note how real the children look and the attention to detail in the lemons hanging in a basket.
Brilliant and Telling....

How do I begin to respond to this?
You, my dear, are the perfect mix of all oddities for me.
BECAUSE MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN ASKING, THIS WAS AN ACTUAL LEMONADE STAND AND NOT AN "INSTALLATION PIECE"
I once saw jim shaw Jr., enter Old Mexico equipped with only a man-purse and a book. He sat down alone and stretched out across the entire bench and kicked back. I'm sure a Pollo 24 or 12 was to follow... good talk
