It's in my will that my ashes are to scattered off the jetty there. Sorry for the morbid segue but small world.<br /><br />Sharon: Wow! Who gets to dust it?<br /><br />JoAnn: I owe this whole experience to you and I cannot thank you enough.<br /><br />Cyra: It's an odd connection between a Seattle artist and Gulf Coast but I'm glad it's here.<br /><br />Rich: You'll have to revisit your lost youth on the beaches here one of these days.<br /><br />Mark: This collection is one for the books. I took a ton of photos this afternoon and they are my post for tomorrow.<br /><br />Cham: You'll be here after the new Dali opens in January. Wait until you see that museum.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-83285023383189523942010-07-10T18:07:41.788-04:002010-07-10T18:07:41.788-04:00My hubs was just mentioning a trip to Florida to t...My hubs was just mentioning a trip to Florida to try our flippers at scuba next summer. This is going on the advance copy of our itinerary - along with Dali!

His ceiling sculpture at the Bellagio in Las Vegas is enormous and exquisite. I saw a similar exhibit to St. Petersburg's at the Kalamazoo Art Center in MI a few years ago. Even little St. Joseph, MI, where I lived for six years, has a Chihuly chandelier in the entry lobby of the Krazl Art Center! <br /><br />I hope the show is a huge success!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13755532134883339641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-65238230964585234692010-07-10T13:05:50.594-04:002010-07-10T13:05:50.594-04:00Holy sinuous scintillating silica Batman!

My first Chihuly experience was also my first trip to Venice. Chihuly had created outrageous hanging glass chandeliers and suspended them throughout the city like scattered sea creatures. One was on the path near my hotel. It hung like a beacon,lighting the way in the same burnt oranges as the walls of the palazzo. It was suspended over a canal, so the reflections from water to glass were infinite. I've admired Chihuly's work all over the world and next week will be St. Petersburg.

Interestingly enough, though, I have been mentor to a niece (parents out of the picture for years now) who was doing Anime drawings when I came into her life. She was 15 at the time, and I asked her if she wanted to do something with her art. Long story short, she's 24 now, and last year she graduated cum laude from Cal State Fullerton with an art major. She works in blown glass, and my proudest possession is the little bear she made some years back as one of first projects.Josephhttp://www.cft411.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-76692656516218912912010-07-10T08:41:10.991-04:002010-07-10T08:41:10.991-04:00Dale Chihuly has the glass-artist-with-name-recogn...Dale Chihuly has the glass-artist-with-name-recognition thing to himself so the work you're describing is probably his.

Someone once told me they were done by "some artist" but I never found out who. It sure looks like the same stuff and I loved it the first moment I laid eyes on it - it's so alive and happy and is like crack for the eyes. At least for me, anyway. I really get off on masses of bright shiny color in pretty shapes. I get the same kick out of finding shiny beetles. I can't even describe the jolt but it's better than any drug.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124636214096825169noreply@blogger.com
