Awakening of Spring -- Richland College, Dallas TX - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

Irony: We photographed "Awakening of Spring" on the day the interior lake at Richland College was frozen over, which had not happened here in MANY years.

"Awakening of Spring" is a life-sized elegantly curving nude female figure basking in the sun alongside the lake at Fannin Plaza in the middle of the Richland College campus.

A nearby plaque reads as follows:

"AWAKENING OF SPRING

MARCELLO MASCHERINI
