Title: Gentle Breeze
Medium: Painted Glass Sculpture
Dimensions: 9"h x 9"w
"Gentle Breeze" is a three-dimensional painted glass art sculpture. Multiple sheets of transparent glass are aligned in parallel, each carefully painted with segments of a wheat field that, when viewed together, form a cohesive, multi-layered whole. Thin, vertical strokes represent the stems, and detailed, feathery lines atop each suggest the plumes of wheat. The collection of glass creates depth, and the overlapping elements enhance the three-dimensionality of the scene. The sculpture is mounted on a wooden base, which contributes to its stability and offers a natural aesthetic that complements the organic subject matter depicted in the glass.
