Artist made Fused Glass Autumn Trees Picture Mixed Media

UNIQUE

'Autumn Trees' glass painting has been created by carefully hand-painting the black tree silhouette onto the surface of the wispy autumn Bullseye glass. The paint used is very finely ground coloured glass that is mixed with water to create a liquid paint. I added a few touches of dichroic glass in the foreground just to give it a little twinkle. Once the glass paint is dry and the image carefully tidied up, the glass picture is fused in a kiln. The firing of the picture takes up to 14 hours as the kiln must be cooled very gradually to avoid breaking the fusing glass.

Each one of my pictures is completely original. They are individually hand-painted to ensure that no two can be the same. It is my love for what I do that drives me to create my pictures. I can never be completely sure how a painting will look when it comes out of the kiln, but it is always a pleasant surprise.

Picture is signed and dated on the reverse, and has a hook for hanging.

Trees are my favourite topic. I adore them!

This one was pleasantly time-consuming. Hours of carefully layering the glass colours.
