"Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'"

Edgar Allan Poe
January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849

    Thank you Sandy. I loved the Chihuly exhibit at our Phoenix Botanical Garden. I've actually got a very extensive slide show of each and every sculpture so I suppose a few more of his fantastic shapes and colors may show up here from time to time.
