I think I got some keepers.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">This is her Chihuly-inspired floral piece. </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3hFwa9FlADlwUo0oU9X3YrsmQNFFBFJ6uegEigf3Sn3Zasj-9o1ZocEUHCwxEOSYmU9eTAdUaFXhBiDYGPAOVzQczuG89sOqbXBIKZUYa0velENuP7MhRLTgIM-q_MnO2u1S_sYp1yKU/s1600/IMG_5160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3hFwa9FlADlwUo0oU9X3YrsmQNFFBFJ6uegEigf3Sn3Zasj-9o1ZocEUHCwxEOSYmU9eTAdUaFXhBiDYGPAOVzQczuG89sOqbXBIKZUYa0velENuP7MhRLTgIM-q_MnO2u1S_sYp1yKU/s400/IMG_5160.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dale Chihuly has a dual exhibit going on now at both <a href="http://www.cheekwood.org/Art/Chihuly_at_Cheekwood.aspx">Cheekwood</a> and the <a href="http://www.fristcenter.org/site/default.aspx">Frist Center for the Visual Arts</a> in Nashville.
