summer east side foto safari

It is a hot summer, and we are supposed to be six feet away from passerbys. Hounds are to be walked. One scenic place, with trees, and little traffic is Lake View Cemetery. In the Metroparks, we have to move over for bicycles; not so there. The landscaping, and graves are well maintained, and there is much to see. This statue is of a girl pushing a wheelbarrow., don't know the sculptor, or date of installation; but it has been recently shown in promotion.
This is of similar art. It is on Cleveland State's campus, and is part of a larger work. The sculptor had created the work in miniature, and i suppose someone asked him for a life size, The original was called "Memories". This has been there at least from 2017. Paul Tadlock is a prolific sculptor from New Braunfels Texas.
This is part of a grave sculpture for a married couple at Lake View. This cropping looks like a portal.

Paul Tadlock's smith is across Fenn Tower, and promoting engineering at the college. This version is "Learning the Trade".
National Town and Country Club opened in 1930, and had one event (a Christmas lunch), and Hoover's Depression closed it. It is 22 stories high (then Cleveland's third tallest building), and was bought by Fenn College in 1937, and has been Fenn Tower since.  Fenn College was the precursor to Cleveland State University. Fenn was on of the three founders of Sherwin-Williams Paint Co., he was the one not named Sherwin or Williams. There are three art deco rams on the front.
This painting is new at #GraffitiHeart building on Superior & East 49th.
Her head looks similar to Peace in the Cultural Gardens [click], but also the Guardian Pylons on the Lorain&Carnegie Bridge. Artist Beau Stanton of Brooklyn and Los Angeles had some more painting to go, and the weekend will be/was rainy. Whether the flower is a lotus, or dahlia is your guess.
