Southwest
art is a popular theme in stained glass! Because much of what I see in
southwestern stained glass does not appeal to me personally, I
try to create southwestern stained glass designs that are charming and
yet pristine; neither overdone nor trite in being too simplistic.
 The
southwestern stained glass artwork above is a good example of what
I might do for you in southwestern stained glass. This transom window
required a fairly simple design because
the window the clients wanted to cover up was large and the price had
to remain within their
budget. I was able to achieve this by making the sky, the
mountains, and and the hills fairly simple, which allowed me to put
more work (more intricacy) into the cacti. Adding overlays to make the
spiny
tips of the yucca seem to stretch well beyond the background
mesa also added a lot of unique interest to this southwestern landscape
in stained glass
As
the photo to the right shows, this window was mounted up above an
eye-level window. The clients needed this stained glass window to block
about 60 southwestern stained glass transom,cactus stained glassto 70
percent of the light coming in the upper window because
when the sun
was shining full force through the upper window, the glare and the heat
that resulted in the room were intense. This light reduction was
accomplished by using opaque and semi-opaque glasses throughout this
artwork. |
