You have definitely captured the spirit of Chihuly, organlike though it may be - :) We had a Chihuly Exhibit here in Miami out among nature in the Fairchild Tropical Gardens. It is such a fond memory and I have several photos from my little phone (no camera for me either). There are still some Chihuly's here, and I understand they just opened up a butterfly center, and in the restaurant adjoining it, with tall windows looking in on the butterflies - there is a new Chihuly chandelier. Can't wait to see it!<br /><br />I really like Mr. Harris too. The sculptor in you is coming out - you have molded that face wonderfully, love the colors too. It is excellent!<br /><br />Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-8860192061123082932012-11-30T09:40:25.983-05:002012-11-30T09:40:25.983-05:00Hi Celeste.

I love the folds and how you handle the dark to light. It's a credit to your imagination that you envisioned it melting. Wonderful!<br />I also love your painting of Mr. Harris. Even though you don't do series work, your informal portrait series is truly spectacular. :-)))<br />Your photograph is spontaneous and funny. It's exactly the kind of thing Jeff does and one of the many reasons I like both of you.<br />Happy Thanksgiving!Pam Hugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03886722152972554968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-5944891233304871842012-11-19T11:24:31.625-05:002012-11-19T11:24:31.625-05:00Thank you Celeste.

It is amazing that these can be moved and set up. "Red Reeds" was set in in the sculpture garden when Hurricane Sandy came through--I think it was taken down for a few days.<br /><br />When I paint something like this vase or the folds in the t shirt, I remember sculpting and how I loved to undercut with the chisel--sculpting does influence my painting.hw (hallie) farberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636182620056350811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-11115192275490956032012-11-18T19:16:21.908-05:002012-11-18T19:16:21.908-05:00Hi Crimson Leaves.

I'm not sure Mr. Harris would recognize himself--it needs a bit more work.<br /><br />Your comment sent me to google uterus X-rays (I've never seen one). There is a photo of Chihuly's Blue Ridge Chandelier at www.flickr.com/photos/pjpink/813877878. It is quite beautiful and contains approximately 1,151 glass elements.
