Glass Mosaic #2 - Lots of photos.

As promised from yesterdays post I am once again sharing a few more photos from my Glass Mosaic Mural photos. 

Today's shots are more Close-Up shots of some of my favorite details in the mural.

I think this sun is absolutely gorgeous.  The center portion glass is really pretty.

Here is the frog that I loved so much.  I wish that my photo had been a little clearer.  I was nervous when the guy walked in while I was taking pictures.  I didn't want him to think I was some kind of a nutcase taking pictures like crazy so I probably had a bit of camera shake going on here.  I need to get over that I think when taking photos with other people around.

The next 3 shots are some of the different butterflies within the mural.  Coleen likes butterflies (so do I for that matter) so I wanted to showcase them for her.

Isn't that orange color in the wings just fabulous!

                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                 This one is my favorite.

                                                                                                                                  Let's share some "Love" with a shiny heart surrounded by a rainbow of colorful glass.

                                                                   How about a pretty flower to cheer you up.

                                        If that doesn't work surely this adorable little caterpillar will.

                                                  A couple of cute little fish swimming in a sea of glass.

Finally a close-up of one of the large flowers at the ends of the murals.  These were pretty awesome.

I hope you have enjoyed this series on this totally amazing mosiac.

I wouldn't mind going back again somedy and taking more shots of this.  I found this to be fascinating and beautiful.  I'd love to be able to look at this every day.

I wonder if he does work for private use? 

"Whatever" Wednesday - Glass Mosaic #1

Hello and Welcome! - For this weeks edition of Whatever Wednesday I am going to show a series of photo's of a Glass Mosaic that is located in one of our local Grade Schools.  I discovered this mosaic  last week when Coleen attended a 2 day mini Cheer leading Camp.  I'd gone to the restroom and while walking back to the Gym I happened to look into another area of the school and saw the mural on the wall.  The door wasn't locked so I went inside and boy was I glad that I did.  This mural was awesome.  I hope you enjoy the photo's.

The Artist/Creator of the mosaic mural is,  Mauricio Robalino.  You can see more of his work (including this particular mural) HERE:  The Walla Walla Mural is the 2nd one down on the page.  It has a Full Length picture of the mural (straight on) which I could not take because there just wasn't room.  Instead I have a side view that I took with my Wide-Angle lens on the camera. Click to Enlarge for a better view.

This mural measures 44 feet by 6 feet. 

This is one of my favorite panels on the mural.  I love that little green frog and the pretty pink lily next to it.

This is the end panel that you couldn't see in my first shot.  I love the pink seahorse at the top of the panel and that gorgeous flower on the end.  You can see some figures in this panel and my next shot shows a close-up of the man on the lefts face.  I love the glass used in that portion.

Isn't this Grasshopper cute! - See those little circles?  Guess what they are.  While we were there a man came by and talked to us about the mural and how it was installed and then he asked us if we'd seen the "monkeys" in the mural.  I hadn't noticed any but he started to direct us down to this panel and I caught on right away what he was referring to.  Coleen hadn't quite figured it out though....

Yep, they are mirrors and of course we were the "monkeys" in the mural!

This is that pink Seahorse that I mentioned earlier.  Don't you love all that pretty pink glass surrounded by the sea of blue. 

Finally a shot of the flower on the end of the mural.

Come back tomorrow for Part 2 if you want to see more of this fabulous piece of art.
