Dale Chihuly

Growing up with a father and mother who are glass artist, you learn a few names in the business. When I heard that Dale Chihuly's exhibit was going to be at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, I knew Jeff and I had to go! I was very excited to see his work and the glass blowing pieces that he does. I was stunned by the colors, technique, and creativity. I may be bias, but I think my Dad could do it too, if he had a glass blowing furnace! Along with the Chihuly exhibit, we saw a few Tiffany windows and the famous Dragonfly lamp. Jeff also spotted a Jackson Pollock! We had a great morning riding the "T" (subway in Boston) and enjoying the different art! Enjoy!

Can you find me in the line?

This very large piece was in the cafe and almost reached the ceiling. It goes along with a few pieces in the garden that we were not able to get to!
