Paradise Gardens - Part 2...

11 November 2014











I took over 500 photos at Howard Finster's place and I could've taken 500 more if I hadn't been a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number and complexity of his creations.  Seriously, how does one person make over 50,000 pieces of 2D and 3D art?  It boggles the mind...

There's a video here that goes into a brief description of his work and illustrates how far reaching his artwork is.  Now, y'all know I'm not a religious person by any means but I have a great respect for people that channel their spirituality and passion into creating things that uplift and inspire.  Such a fascinating history here!

  1. Also not a religious person but a body of work like this is awe-inspiring. I don't blame you for taking so many photos- the detail shots are great!

  2. All of the photos (from Part 1 as well) are amazing! These art pieces are astounding. I especially like the little beaded wind chime thingies. It's something that I do with my summer campers!!
