The ocean is so beautiful all the time.  The last week have noticed the ocean has been churning with rip tides and undertow.  So amazing.

Sculptures from Horseshoes

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

These pieces of art are amazing.  Mr. Kris Francis is an incredible artist.  You can contact Kris through Instagram:  JKFmetal.  Love the fact he uses all used metal and recycles and upcycles to these terrific pieces of art.

Fun fact, Kris is teaching his daughter, Summer, the art of metal.  She has made the pumpkins made from horseshoes.
