From almost everywhere in Kew you can see this Large Reclining Figure. It was the overwhelming peice of the collection, and in prime position in front of the Palm House. Children were busy climbing over it continually so it was almost impossible to take any photos without people......
The Double Obal was nestled in front of the Orangery. Moore enjoyed putting holes in his sculptures to add to the mystery. I liked the way that this looked different from different angles. It looked Christmassy, Five Golden rings and all that. . . . . . 
My absolute favourite is The Mother and Child Block Seat. I was very moved by the obvious tenderness in the mother's arm as she held her baby.
Behind the Palm House we found Draped Woman Reclining. Apparantly Moore got inspiration for this lady from the British Museum, he must have seen me there on a long hot Sunday!
Two Piece Reclining Figure Cut : This work has a deep cut separating the two forms that make up the piece, supposedly creating tension and division. Jamie and I thought it was the Loch Ness Monster
This is a Large Totem Head cast in 1975. This is a Prime Example of Moore's belief that a sculpture should have a sense of mystery in order to maintain interest. I liked the setting of this sculpture most of all, I think it was a perfect forground to the Palm House and Kew Lake
The first sculpture we found was The Three Piece Reclining Figure Draped. Moore was pretty intense with his liking for reclining figures, we saw lots today. This one was one of the best and a good first find.
This is Two Large Forms, You should walk around the sculpture and see the organic forms changing. Moore wanted his sculptures to reveal themselves gradually. The colour in this sculpture was wonderful, giving it depth when close up
And finally Upright Motive Number 5. I didn't like the Upright Motives all that much, they didn't have the tenderness of his human forms, but I liked the siting of this one, next to the Princess of Wales' Conservatory
