Doodle's Umbrella

"Doodle's Umbrella" is a public art installation created by Carlsbad-based artist Bryan Snyder, unveiled in August 2019 in Carlsbad Village. The artwork features Snyder's signature "Doodle" character standing beneath a halved umbrella affixed to the wall. Real flowers are planted atop the umbrella and in a pot below, adding a living, interactive element to the piece.  

The installation encourages community involvement by inviting visitors to water the flowers with a watering can provided nearby. Snyder designed the piece to promote local engagement, foster a sense of community, and integrate art into public spaces. The living flowers play a key role in the installation, relying on public participation for their care and maintenance.  

"Doodle's Umbrella" has become a beloved feature of Carlsbad Village, exemplifying Snyder’s dedication to enhancing the area's cultural and artistic environment.
