Walking on Water?

St Petersburg, Florida

I think this is the same Great Blue Heron as in a few posts ago, or the same mistaken identification.

Pointed

St Petersburg, Florida

From Google image search I’m identifying this as a great blue heron. Either that or I’ve made a great big mistake.

Heavy Metal

Warehouse District, St Petersburg, Florida

We were planning on joining an Art Walk starting in the Warehouse District about a week and a half ago. By the time we got there it had been cancelled, the trolley garaged and the galleries shuttered. We found these compacted cubes of metal outside one of the warehouses of studios.

A couple more from Duncan McClellan

St Petersburg, Florida

I couldn’t find any placards to identify these, the top image is a set of glass globes from their students; the bottom one is a close-up of a metal sculpture in the gardens.

A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, outside an enigma…

Orchid

St Petersburg, Florida

There’s a garden full of glass and mixed media sculpture at the back of the Duncan McClellan gallery where I spotted this unavoidable flower, reverse identified by Yandex as an orchid (I wouldn’t know, a severe urbanite adrift).

Duncan McClellan Gallery

Another gallery full of (mostly) glassworks – quite remarkable!

Glass

St Petersburg appears to be a home for many artists working with glass. We saw a demonstration of the art at the Morean Arts Center, all of the above were shot at the Imagine Museum and still to come is the Duncan McClellan Gallery. We haven’t made it yet to the Chihuly collection. Apologies to artists of the works above if I mis-labeled any of the works.
