Dale Chihuly's Work....unmistakable
They look like the same picture....but they aren't....you just have to sit back and take it in.
This is the light on the ceiling at the Hilton in Houston. I got the privilege of enjoying this site for 5 days.I love Dale Chihuly's work. I have since the first time I saw it. Dale was at a glass gallery in Pontiac, MI years ago and I got invited to go and meet him. He was very interesting and I had a great time looking at his work. I could not imagine it was traveling show. His pieces sell for well over 50,000 so how does one pack and carry those around? Being the simpleton that I am, I asked him if he was afraid one would get broke. His response, "I'd just make another one." So there you have it....make another one.
If you go to the Bellagio in Las Vegas there is an entire ceiling of his glass work there. I laid on the floor and just stared at the ceiling for quite some time. The security guard asked me if I was ok....I said.....I'm more than fine. He walked away and left me alone. I know....it seems odd to lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling in public. But I did not want to miss the feeling and image I have stored in my heart and mind for the rest of my life. It was magic and I can risk embarrassment for a lifetime of magic.
Smiles,
