Wondrous day . . .

Inexpressible delight, smiles, laughter, wonder going through Chiluly Through the Looking Glass. Man is so angelic at times. I wished the exhibit were more extensive but I was and still am smiling and happy after walking through twice. The colors are so strong you can feel them. I will certainly study the art of glass blowing in some detail just to really understand what Chiluly and his artisans have created. I relish the thought that Dale Chiluly is my age and he continues to create his beautiful blown glass creations for us to admire and enjoy. It truly is enjoyment to walk under the Persian Ceiling and look up at the colors, textures and even though there was no music, the music of the pieces. His putti ( I call them little angels) are sensuous, funny and I would like one! Perhaps when we win the big one I'll buy one of his creations. $6,000 or more isn't too much to pay so you can smile each and every time you glide by one of his putti coming out of the nest!

Our ride to Boston was perfect. Parking was perfect. MFA was perfect. Lunch was perfect. Only made three circles around Massachusetts Avenue to get home! Great day with my art teacher cousin.

Quote: The real truthfulness of all works of imagination, -sculpture, painting, and written fiction, is so purely in the imagination, that the artist never seeks to represent positive truth, but the idealize image of a truth. ___Bulwer
