Summer Blog Challenge, Day 10- Money Aside, I Would Own These...

Today's blog challenge is to tell about what famous work of art I would have in my home if money were not an obstacle.  Honestly, this one initially stumped me.  I am not a connoisseur of artworks.  I have always been able to appreciate a painting or a sculpture, but never have I looked at a piece and thought, "wow, I would really like to have that in my home".  Then it dawned on me!  Yes, there is an artist that I have greatly appreciated since being introduced to him during my years living in Columbus, Ohio.  His works were the sole reason I would visit the Franklin Park Conservatory.  The glass artwork of Dale Chihuly. 


How gorgeous is this?

I love how light can shine through one of his pieces and completely change how you feel about it.


But I guess one of these pieces would be a little more feasible for my home (and you know, would actually fit in your home if you don't happen to have 30 foot ceilings ;) ).
Have you ever seen Chihuly glass art yourself?
