I thoroughly enjoy visiting a city like Santa Barbara that has heavily invested in outdoor art. I was especially delighted to see this mixed medium of a young boy riding his father’s shoulder at a carnival. The full-size bronze statue named “Who’s in Charge” is by J. Seward Johnson. Jr. The carousel mural was painted by Donn Byrne. These are two of several pieces at the historic La Arcada shopping area on State Street and West Anapamu Street.
