SundayStills - 'G'
Every February, the Royal Botanical Gardens has a Glass Under Glass exhibit in the Mediterranean Greenhouse. Ontario artists and students from Sheridan College have created over 100 works of glass art to be admired (and all for sale).

Love the red inukshuk..great photos! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger we lived in a town not far from where the regions glass-blowing industry thrived. I was always fascinated by how the glass was turned from a blob into something of beauty. This post is lovely and very clever work has been done by those making the glass.
ReplyDeleteThe lily pad and the fish are gorgeous. The inukshuks, sadly have really been overdone lately. And it's really, really too bad because they are quite beautiful in their raw state.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, nice colors. I like your sense of humor too.
ReplyDeleteThe lily pad is made of glass? I want one, it would be safe from my black thumb. Really lovely fishies too.
ReplyDeleteglass is one of my favorite mediums - gorgeous shots
ReplyDeletedibear: thanks, I was looking forward to this week's challenge!
ReplyDeleteKen: I know, I feel so inadequate, but at least I can admire.
Colleen: and but a small example..
SueAnn: thanks
Sandy: thanks
Montucky: it is a very nice setting
ReplyDeleteGail: or even the patience needed to be creative..
Cinner: thanks, the fish are neat.
allhorsestuff: that is my favourite, too.
Brenda: thanks, that one I had to play with the effects to make it stand out.
crazyshgeeplady: water and glass go so well together.
Mary: I go to this exhibit several times during its run.
ReplyDeleteLisa: I wish I had a pond, I might be tempted to buy that lily...
FFF: somehow, a red inukshuk seem very patriotic at the moment...
XUP: ... and, yes, they are sadly very overdone
Sagittarian: I used to visit the glass making at Harbourfront, too and it fascinated me to see them stretching and blowing the molten glass.
ReplyDeletemorephotosplease: aw geeze, thank you, muchly
AmyR: maybe I could 'grow' a garden of glass flowers and fish on my balcony...
Char: I have started to really appreciate glass and have a small collection.
Really nice shots, I never thought of doing Glass!
ReplyDeleteVery cool..:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm with the red inukshuk -very intriguing and bold!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, especially that lily pad. I love glass sculpture, I could never see too much of it.
ReplyDeleteShirley: I still have to check out what everyone else found..
ReplyDeleteEd: thanks :)
Jeannette: although, the photo is deceiving, these are quite small. but yes, there was also black and green ones, as well as the clear one, that I found and they did not stand out at all.
Pretty! I was trying to think of the word for the stone pilings the other day...thank you!
ReplyDeleteRobin: glass sculptures are an interesting subject - so delicate and hardy at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSusan: you are welcome!
I like the live koi under the glass water lily.
ReplyDeleteSAW: yeah, it would have look a bit sad and lifeless without them. and there are quite a few around!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the sculptures!I thought he first one was ice until I read your intro.
ReplyDeleteLew: thanks. it does look rather ice -like, doesn't it? it certainly wouldn't have lasted long in the humid greenhouse!
