theme: chapel windows

[Hazel Grant]

Stained glass windows in a chapel in North Carolina, backlit by natural light. Oil paint, distortion correct.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Very pretty Hazel, I like the effect that the oilpaint has given. Nice brilliant colours too.

[Wendy Kates]

I like the whole effect, Hazel. The different tones of blue and purple are lovely, and the windows really stand out against the black background.

[Kerry Perkins]

Hi Hazel, nice effect and colors! It seems to my eye that the windows are floating in a black space, with nothing to ground them. I wonder how a border of some sort might look, or if there was some texture on the wall...

[Hazel Grant]

thanks. nice suggestion, Kerry. I'll work on that and see what looks best.

The windows are beautiful. I agree with Kerry, they need something to tie them together.

[Dennis Bishop]

I agree with Kerry, too. His suggestions about a border and/or texture are good. If it were mine, I'd also at least try a skewed reflection from the windows as though they were backlit.
