Winter Tree Stained Glass Panel

Winter Tree
The Winter Tree design for this stained glass art work was based on photos and drawings from a range of sources, including my own photos of bare trees against the West Country sky.
I'd seen some of Meistermann's stained glass and I loved the way he used pieces of the same coloured glass, separated with lead, to build up large sections of colour. This panel uses similar methods on a small scale to build up the layers of colour in the background. The strips are separated with lead or paint. The tree itself is opaque black glass with some black paint for additional branches. The wild sky at the top of the panel is mostly blue on turquoise flash glass, etched using wax as a resist.
The panel is framed & shown ready to be used in a back-lit panel.
