I've been waiting all summer
to get to the Denver Botanical Gardens.
Well, now that it's fall,
I finally made it.
There's been a celebration of color and glass
mixed with the beautiful surroundings of
the gardens going on.
Dale Chihuly's Garden and Glass
exhibit was on display.
The colors were brilliant on
this beautiful fall day in Denver.
The shapes and colors
engaged your imagination.
The sculptures fit into the
garden landscapes
making you wonder if you were
looking at real flowers
or glass ones,
a blazing red maple
or a object made of glass.
The sculptures really seemed to belong there.
Of course, we all wondered
how all of these glass sculptures
had survived some of the fierce hailstorms
the area had had this summer.
It has interesting to
look how he interprets our environment
through the medium of glass.
As you can see,
it was engaging
for young and old alike.
If you ever have the opportunity to see
one of Dale Chihuly's exhibits
be sure and take advantage of it and
enjoy his work.
Until Next Time-
Thank you for sharing the pics. The Chihuly glass display is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who is very much into Chihuly glass displays. that is how I learned about him. Is this display there all the time or is it a special event?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous stuff! Thanks you so much for sharing this. It gave me chills as I went from photo to photo! I LOVE his work. When the Winter Olympics were in Salt Lake City they had many of his pieces on display and I was entranced by it. It is amazing to see his pieces integrated with nature. Very cool! Thanks, Kyle!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to see a Dale Chihuly exhibition a few years ago in Australia and it was amazing!! They reminded me of underwater beings. How wonderful to see his work in amongst the gardens and how the interact with the flowers. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photos with us.
ReplyDeleteincredible! You got to see the original "quilt" boat with bubbles.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they clean all the glass sculptures - they are amazing
What an amazing exhibit! The botanicals and glass sculptures pair up so exquisitely.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring and gifted artist Dale is! Thank you for sharing!
I did get to see an exhibit of his work, its truly amazing in a museum exhibit. There are a few in a museum in Boston I believe.
ReplyDeleteglad you were able to visit and oh my the grounds here are just beautiful, you certainly had a beautiful day to enjoy being outside.
