Stained Glass Panels/Screen

These panels were originally used as doors that hid an over-the-fireplace television space. When the owner moved to a neighboring state, the panels were removed from the family room walls and are now used as a fireplace screen for a non-functioning fireplace. The design is a harlequin pattern using black and white opaque class with a cobalt blue accent diamond and border. Each panel (from edge to edge of wooden frame) is 12" x 36".

After placing the screen, the homeowner realized the concrete slab that served as the hearth also needed a make-over. A little paint and sealer and...voila...slate tiles courtesy of Lynn Miller Design. A similar concrete hearth in another room was painted to look like marble.

Painting is very easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do. -Edgar Degas

In the course of an acrylic painting class critique in college, the professor said to me, "Everything is a watercolor painting to you, isn't it?" As I considered his comment, I realized it's true. Acrylics are thinned; oil is thinned. All paints are thinned until they resemble watercolors more than anything else. I still enjoy the idea of different paints...I just want all those different paints to behave like watercolors.
