Similar to the above glass painting, this one has a soft sandblasted surface.  Size is approx 23" w x 22" hi mounted on a black panel

Foggy sunrise over Fernhill Wetlands, near our former home in Forest Grove, Oregon.  I captured this image one morning and thought it was so nice to see the sun thru the reeds and cattails.  Approx size 22" w x 15" tall mounted on a black panel

Rock-a-way Beach, Oregon
A soft atmospheric glass painting done from a photo taken by my special someone of Rock-A-Way Beach on the northern Oregon coast.  Approx sixe 23" w x 15" tall mounted on a black panel

This is a fragment of a larger diptych that was done on commission of Portofino Italy.  After 9 months of work it was finished.   I thought.  2 days later it started to crack...and crack..and crack some more.   This is all that is left of the original.  Smart glass people told me it was fired to many times and became incompatible.  I started in again and eliminated the window sills, which was a complete firing cycle, and after 3 months of work it was finished and mounted in the clients home.  Approx size with both panels would have been 48" w x 26" tall.  This one is approx 24" x 24" mounted on a black panel.  There have been a lot of positive comments.

"Lillies of the Sisters"  We found this image waiting to be captured while mountain biking south of the town of Sisters Oregon in June of "17.  I couldn't resist it in spite of have to squat in burned out manzinita bushes.  I found out later that these are wild Martha Wahington Lillies and of course those beautiful mountains are the Three Sisters, which we call "the girls".  Fused glass "painting" approx 22" wide x 17" tall

"Skies Afire over the Sisters Mtns."    A fused glass painting approx 22" w x 17" tall trying to capture the beauty of the sunset

"Smith Rock" One of the most spectacular sttings in all of Oregon.  Crooked River flows at the bottom of the cliffs.  A world class climbing mecca.  Fused glass painting approx 22" w x 17" tall

" Rocky Shore"  near Depoe Bay Oregon.  The Oregon coast is spectacular.  Fused glass painting approx 22" w x 15" tall

Sunset over the Sisters.  Smaller version of "Skies Afire".  Experimenting on techniques to capture the intensity of the the sunsets.  Fused glass painting approx 16" w x 12" tall

"Smith Rock Reflection"  a fused glass "Painting".  What is the color of water? and how can I possible capture the color and the watery look in glass?  Smith Rock is one of my favorite places and within biking distance from my home.  The Crooked River flows against the base of these beautiful rocky spires.  Glass painting is approx 24" w x 17" tall
