gordon halloran ice paintings - seen in person

do you remember when i said i would present a follow-up post on the spectacular ice paintings from canadian artist gordon halloran? please find what i saw in person below for your viewing pleasure. for some reason, i didn’t realize that they would be all frosty and frozen over until i saw them in person (duh!). when the guy came out with the blow torch to reveal the artwork’s true colors, people watched grinning, in stunned silence, as bursts of color came through one after the other.

the exhibit is gone now, but seeing the gorgeous, original work with my own eyes was worth bearing the frigid temperatures. and boy did i get the color fix i need on a regular basis this time of year!

i really hope he is taking his show on the road to some other fortunate city soon.
