Delbert Beckhams's "Fun Flowers XL" - January 26, 2009

Delbert Beckham’s “Fun Flowers XL” were purchased by Lampasas Association for the Arts for permanent display in the William M. Brooks park in Lampasas, Texas. The five flowers, whose blooms are four feet across, were first installed in the fall of 2008 as part of LAFTA’s Art in the Park program where artists are paid a stipend to temporarily place large outdoor sculptures in the cities parks for twelve months. However, at the end of the year, LAFTA’s membership decided they wanted to keep “Fun Flowers XL” permanently on display in the Brooks Park.

In 2007-2008, Beckham’s sculpture, “Habitat” was one of five in the Hanna Springs Sculpture Garden installation in Campbell Park as part of LAFTA’s 2nd annual Art in the Park. “Habitat” can now be seen, along with many others, in his Outdoor Sculpture Gallery just off Hwy 7 west of Center on County Road 1140.
