Window Painting

I got another Ripple Grant this year from GO ART! to do a window painting on plexiglass for the Sage Pavilion in Bergen, NY. I had never used glass paint before this, but when the mayor of Bergen told me they had wanted to install stained glass in an interior window space in the pavilion, but it was way too expensive, I suggested using Plaid Gallery Glass window paint for a faux stained glass effect. I researched many different ways of doing a fake stained glass effect, and the Gallery Glass seemed like the best choice. (Thank heaven for youtube videos)!
This has been a wonderful learning experience! The plexiglass painting evolved into something somewhat different than what I initially envisioned as I experimented with the medium, mixing the colors and getting away from a traditional stained glass look. But I think it came out pretty nice. 

I call it 'Technicolor Woodland Sunset'.
