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

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

    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.

    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...

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

    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.
