Use Large Statuary as the Focal Point of Your Garden
If you have a radiant garden in which you dearly love to spend time, you can add a dramatic flair to the space by adding large statuary. Every garden, no matter how large or small, needs a garden statue to give the garden breadth and depth.
You can tell a story with such statues, add a romantic ambiance or give the garden a classical look or an element of surprise. There are numerous options in accessorizing your garden in this manner. It can serve as a contrast to the landscape or bring attention to a particular part of the garden.
You do need to have a theme in mind for your garden before you purchase large statuary. Look at the many types of statues available to decide which ones would look best in a particular area to complement your outdoor decor, whether it be rock gardens, hot tub gazebos (http://www.mybath.biz/servlet/the-Hot-Tubs/Categories), or patio waterfalls.
You should make sure that the statuary is in scale with the surroundings. A large statue in a small garden will overpower it and diminish the beauty of the flowers and shrubs. You have to choose the statue in accordance with the size of the garden so that it will seem like a natural part of the surroundings. The end of a long pathway, for example, is the perfect location for a small statue.
Classical large statuary adds a timeless quality to your garden. Choose a statue of an ancient Greek or Roman god or nude sculptures that accentuate the human form. Reproductions of the statues of famous sculptors are not as expensive as you may think and will occupy a place of importance in your garden and your life. Life size statues of this nature will certainly become a conversation piece with visitors as they ask about the design and compliment you on your choice.
There are also art deco statues of humans created in angular and geometrical designs that will add flair and dramatics to your outdoor space or hot tub (http://www.mybath.biz/servlet/the-Hot-Tub-Accessories/Categories). A large statuary angel will add a whimsical theme to your garden as well as a celestial glow. Choose an angel standing with her arms outspread ready to envelop all who enter or a statue of a sleeping baby to add to the peaceful nature of the garden.
Animal sculptures look part of the garden and many visitors may think at first glance that the animals are real. If you live in a rural area, a statue of a mother bear and her cub or one of a deer will really make your garden seem like it was created by Mother Nature without any help from you. Lions always work well in any garden and give it s sense of strength and majesty.
Whatever type of large statuary you choose; you cannot simply install it and think that you don't have to do any maintenance on it, especially if it is made from natural material. In the winter make sure you do cover it to protect it from the weather.
Ice and water freezing in the crevices of the statue could cause it to crack, which will mar the overall look. Concrete statues should be treated with a sealer and covered along with your swim spa, so that moisture from rain and snow will not seep into the cracks and cause breakage.
Even in summer, you need to give the statue a good washing once in a while so that algae won't collect on the surface. If you do follow these tips, you will have many years of enjoyment from the large statuary in your garden.
