Inspired by Water

All these three pieces are inspired by the idea of water. The rolling hill-like shapes from my landscape mosaics transformed into flowing waves.
 

The Rising Sun, stained glass mosaic on wood, 9" x 18 1/2", 2009   ~SOLD

While working on the above piece, I thought of a sunny day when the ocean appears as a deep, rich navy color and is filled with lots of large, breaking waves.

Aquatic Dreamscape, stained glass mosaic on wood, 7" x 9", 2009   ~SOLD

In the above mosaic, I tried to convey a more tropical ocean, where the water appears more inviting.

Overcast, stained glass mosaic on wood, 9" x 7", 2009   ~SOLD

This last piece was inspired by an overcast day, when the whole atmosphere at the beach seems to have a haze over it. The ocean, the sky and the sun all appear a very similar color.

A Painting Into a Mosaic

Demon Alcohol, stained glass on wood, 30" x 24", 2009 ~Available

The above mosaic is based of one of my paintings "Alcoholism" acrylic on canvas, 24" x 18", 1999. I really like the imagery in this painting. It was fun to work on the various eyes and recreate the wacky critters scattered though out the painting. The original painting got damaged over the years but now its reborn in a mosaic form.
