Bahamian Sunrise

Oil on Glass

First experiment with oil on glass. Wasn't sure how this was all going to work out as a beginner with this style of art but it was so much fun, I have taken on another oil on glass canvas project. Captioned below is the process of the Bahamian sunrise from a plain window frame to becoming a work of art. 

The first two photos below were used as references and my vision was to paint both front and back sides of the glass. To give this project effect, the reference photos were printed as an original reference but also a flipped (reversed) photo to complete the back of glass

2017 Touch Up

Over the course of a year and a bit watching paint dry (literally), the technique I used previously to distress the window sash deteriorated causing a yellowish unappealing finish.  Needing for the Oil paint to fully cure, I sat and watched the sash become more yellow and compromised.  The time came in 2017 to treat the frame with a hot water wash, 400 grit sand and re-coated it with a chalk finish.  This new finish now completes looking out at the ocean through a window!
