Title
Discuss and consider action to approve the purchase of “Smitten,” a sculpture by John Maisano.
Summary
“Smitten” is a sculpture depicting a life-sized bobcat. This sculpture is proposed to be located at Wilbarger Creek Park South on top of a low-seating wall.
Artist Statement: This bobcat was modeled after our adopted cat, “Gronk,” who came to us via a neighbor who was moving. He has such an amazing personality. Cats love to enjoy the warmth of the sun, so I wanted to capture that with his pose. One look and you will be Smitten!
