New! The Glasshouse Works Commissions from China
Our First commissioned items from China are now here! We have just received a group of twelve Chinese Auspicious Animals! They are sculpted in either marble and granite. We picture three of them just below. We call them "Lucky Beasts." indeed it it difficult to translate directly from the Chinese, but these beasts are a great piece of sculpture for the garden. We are keeping one inside by the fireplace. They traditionally are put in the garden because they are said to give good fortune to the owner and to protect from evil spirits. They are considered great watchers of the home and garden. We have seen these in various forms and different media over the years. The image we had these designed from was from a large incense burner in copper which we saw at the famous "Sun of Heaven" Chinese exhibit 10 years ago. We chose them to be in lasting stone for our gardening friends. Keep this in mind for the fall and winter holiday season. The one foot high size is perfect for the home too. The price is amazing low considering the fact that we had to made to order and they were shipped from just outside Beijing!


    
   
The Art of David Whitehill
Not of course gardenworthy in your outside garden, but since he is a new artist to our set of galleries, check out the Work of David Whitehill who has created oils and acrylics for forty years. For fear of pinning a title on a painter of as many talents as David Whitehill, his art could be the art of a modern surrealist. But there are so many other angles to this multifacited talent! Mr. Whitehill uses dream images and waking images as the basis for his art. Often a dream will lead to a canvas. Often the canvas will speak to him and the organic image will grandually take hold of the work in progress. All of this is accompanied by fabulous techique and knowledge of the medium. Take a look and consider bying a painting, a work of art, that will grow in value through the years as well as grow in importance.
