Wednesday in Wyoming - February 27, 2019

Sometimes the background against which the stained glass is displayed is almost as interesting as the art itself. In this case, the whimsically entitled "Fox Hole" stained glass almost appears to be hanging outside. It's not, of course, but is displayed on the glass-enclosed walkway connecting the Grand Conservatory of the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens with the original greenhouse.

In addition to the very red red fox, I liked the way the vertical lines of the frame were echoed by the flagpole.

My Wednesday in Wyoming posts will have a different theme next month, but there were so many beautiful pieces of glass art that I intend to devote another month to them later this year. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I have.

This piece of stained glass from the annual Glass Art show at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens caught my eye for two reasons: the unique frame and the background. I loved the way the piece was highlighted against the beauty of the Grand Conservatory.

One of the interesting things about the Glass Art show at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens is that many of the pieces are displayed in windows, giving visitors a view of not only the art itself but also the exterior of the gardens.

These pieces, which are hanging in the second floor classroom, have a less-than-spectacular but highly necessary background: the maintenance part of the gardens.

One of the annual events in Cheyenne is the Glass Art Show at the Botanic Gardens. In the past, I've been impressed with both the beauty of the pieces and the variety of techniques the artists use, and this year was no exception.

I particularly liked this portrait of a hummingbird. Not only did it remind me of the hummers that frequent my backyard every summer, but the sparkling mosaic-style background caught my eye.
