The Joy of Color

As an artist, I love color - it stirs up such a visceral reaction in my soul, and certain colors elicit different moods and states of mind.
I was unprepared for the explosion of color and artistry that greeted me when I recently went to the Chihuly glass exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston with my husband.



A huge glass sculpture greeted us when we entered the museum's new wing,


and above us was a row of gorgeous, lighted glass windows.

Room after room was filled with beautiful collections of colorful blown glass sculptures,




as well as beautiful, luminescent chandeliers!



But my favorite room was the one in which the entire ceiling was a glowing glass canopy!


The day left me drunk with color! 
A beautiful experience!
