Art Imitating Life

Or is it the other way around? In his 1889 essay 'The Decay of Lying', Oscar Wilde says, "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life."

 

I had intended to give Brian a break from Macro Mondays this week (or is it the other way around...). Then, as I searched the cupboards for some interesting glass article to photograph, I came across six coloured champagne flutes - an unwanted (and forgotten) gift that had been stored at the back of a top shelf (the flutes had been used just once, when I discovered that the bright colours could easily peel off!). When Brian saw the spirals painted on the sides of the glasses, he insisted on taking part this week.

 

For Macro Mondays theme 'Glass'. The shell measured 1.5cm, making the photograph 7 cm across.

 

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
