The new Emily Carr statue was unveiled in Victoria on Wednesday. It is on the corner of the Empress Hotel property where a circular flowerbed used to be.
She is shown here with her pet monkey Woo and dog Billie. I was surprised to see the sculpture just plopped on the ground rather than up on a pedestal.
But I suspect it was done that way so that people can go up and touch it. 
In this location a smaller or more refined-looking sculpture might have been better. However, I think the face is very well done.
