The next exhibit was simply incredible, not just for the sheer number of pieces, but for the color combinations, the size and complexity. It was huge. ...Continue reading...

Today I am continuing by posting, first, the Northwest influenced installation called "Tabac Baskets" of the Chihuly Museum Exhibit. Quite a departure from the riot of color we saw in earlier posts. As you entered the room your eyes were immediately drawn to..... ...Continue reading...

Wednesday is the first day of Spring. It was such a busy winter, and I am barely able to believe the warmer months will soon be upon us. Spring is most beautiful in the south, I believe more so than anywhere else, but it is also quite a short season in these parts. We may have barely 2 months of lovely tolerable temperatures with lower humidity and downright pleasant weather. I have never adjusted to how the weather goes so suddenly from that, straight to hot summer heat, rising humidity, pesky ...Continue reading...

The last post introduced you to Dale Chihuly and a bit of his design biography. I then shared a description and photos of part of the exhibit I attended in Richmond, Virginia. I related it just a little bit to thinking about interior design and color. Check it out if you missed it. Today I will share photos of two more installations - the ceiling installation, referred to as "Persian Ceiling" and the "Macchia Forest". The Persian Ceiling was a hallway you walked into, with the glass overhead, ...Continue reading...

I hope you enjoyed the photo introduction yesterday introducing the work of glass artist Dale Chihuly. His glass works attract museum aficionados as well as those that might otherwise rarely visit a museum. His collections are in more than 200 museums as well as in private collections. The glass artist is now 71, and because of two unfortunate accidents, since 1979 now relies on 90 full time and 10 part time to do the hands on work and glass blowing under his direction at Chihuly Studio in ...Continue reading...

Recently we drove to Richmond, VA to the Museum of Fine Arts to attend the Chihuly Glass Exhibit. I was anxious to see it and finally made the drive to Richmond before the exhibit closed. I was both moved and inspired by these magnificent works of glass art. Today I offer you some photos....the first two are credited to the photographers in the caption. For the next few posts I will share some of the photos we took. I choose the Chihuly Exhibit as one of my early posts for a couple of ...Continue reading...

They had predicted the snow, so as usual I went to the store to get basic provisions. When you live in the south, at the mere hint of even a dusting of snow, Southerners panic and empty the milk and bread aisles. When I moved south in my twenties from the Finger Lakes Region of NY, I thought I had entered a bizarre reaction to a non-event. I used to refer to them as snow weenies. I eventually learned that they had no snow plows really, nor large enough provisions to take on the occasional large ...Continue reading...

I have an area to the left side of my desk that needed the addition of something to balance things out. I already had an antiqued metal sun that Keith got for me at a lovely shop called Twig in Chapel Hill, NC. I really enjoyed having the sun where I could see it because it was a bit different and made me smile. However, the blank wall above it needed filling. I couldn't put anything too deep there, like a shelf or file because of the door on the hutch above my desk opening towards the wall. A ...Continue reading...
