art in costa rica

the bohemian is loving the art of costa rica! the patterns... the colors of nature and natural life... the shapes and patterns of wrought iron... the beauty of marble tile and brickwork... the statuary.... the colors they paint their houses and buildings... ah... so glad to be here, experiencing it all... the intricate detail and colors of the costa rican ox carts... may the beauty that surrounds you not go unnoticed... say to yourself: "it's a wonderful world!" (thanks, louie!) and then go out and play in it...
