Broadway taxis




Broadway has come to Stevington! My son Jonathan cleverly imported these miniature taxis to drive on our Broadway Boogie Woogie terrace inspired by Mondrian's famous painting with its red, blue and yellow dots of colour which remind me of the New York grid pattern with yellow taxis buzzing around. Here at Stevington the lights of NY are reflected in the LED strips.High tech gardening!
(See Jazz Broadway Boogie Woogie on a previous post for the actual painting).

Jazz nights at Stevington



Negative space takes on a new look. Normally paving makes you concentrate at the stone slabs, not at the mortar in between! This dance floor is in the reverse. Blue, red and yellow stones have been bonded in resin and set amongst the stones. The pattern has echoes of Mondrians famous painting Broadway Boogie Woogie reflecting his love affair with New York Jazz. So instead of a boring patio we have a jazzy dance floor and at night the whole scene is lit up with blue and amber LED lights!
