It is an interpretation of the Monterey Cypress

There were about a 100 pieces of glass to cut and grind for this beautiful Stained Glass Window.

Here you can see the sky coming together, and the tree's in the void taking place.

As you can see I am working on the tree top's now.

Getting closer!

I kept the photo of the painting close at hand through the making of this window. Trying to keep colors as close to the original as I could. . But also trying to keep a resemblance of the Monterey Cypress window that has been created in the past.

It takes much patients to get just the right fit.

Both sides are soldered on the stained glass piece and touch up is always necessary.

The finished master piece!
