New project- 8 Stained glass windows for a church

I am working on a project which entails 8 windows for a church in Spokane, WA.  The design was done by Joan Smith in Cour d Alene, ID and I helped a little with it.  Each panel is approximately 4ft by 28 inches.  The design starts with upper left image and all 4 follow each other in a diagonal line.  The design is mirrored making a total of 8 windows. 


The next 2 images show the beginning steps of laying out the design and figuring out how to shape the glass that will be hand beveled.

Painting Completed

I enjoy the depth of the leaves.  I find it calming to look at.

Started new painting- untitled so far

Feels good to paint again.  I have really been fascinated by leaves, whenever I go out on walks with my daughter we go through an area with lots of different trees, it is very beautiful and peaceful.  I get caught up watching the leaves, how they move, their shapes, the sound they make when there is a breeze.

Stained Glass Designs #6 and 7 out of 7


These are the last 2 designs for the 2 panel kitchen windows.  I wanted something to contrast the geometric and to tie into the plants around the area.
