Northhampton

Oh, these statues are wonderful!! There were a number of cities in the US that had statues like this to raise money for various charities. Where I lived in Gainesville FL we had alligators (the University of FL at Gainesville are called "The Gators".); Ocala, FL (the center of horse country in Florida) had horses; San Jose, CA had shark statues all around (their hockey team are the "Sharks".) Columbus OH had statues of "Brutus Buckeye", the official mascot of The Ohio State University's football team. Such fun to seek them out.

How fun! Love the photos of the various painted statues you saw and the block style composition looks fantastic here

That must have been a fun thing to do, finding all the different statues around the town. I did the same thing at Port Macquarie on the NSW east coast when I visited a few years ago...they had painted koala statues there. You have used the challenge template nicely here, changing up the design slightly to allow for the large photo at the bottom. Well done.
