STAINGLASS CHURCH WINDOWS PROJECT

STAGE 1 STAGE 2

STAGE 3FINISHED



I have been asked to show the stages of some of my work so have uploaded 3 stages and the finished acrylic canvas from a series of stainglass windows I have painted from imagination. My love of flowers and church interiors gave me the inspiration to join these subjects together. I did a pair 14 x 36 inches and sold the following one based on irises at the Kings Lynn Festival last Autumn. In both works I added a great deal of texture to the surrounding stonework and kept it stonelike with very thin mat varnish but glazed the window areas with a number of layers of gloss varnish.

I finished the rough version of the Invisible Picnic in 7 hours. Well the second half anyway.

I'm doing a series of paintings to add to my blog that were inspired by
your stained glass paintings.
After The Endless Road I'll have story paintings for each story.
I'm doing three happy animal stories
next.
