The trompe-l'oeil stained glass window.
The technique involves painting with tinted oil varnish which gives the viewer the impression that they are looking through hand stained uneven colored glass pieces. The surface is glossy and uneven in color to almost a milky quality.
The leading is created by using flat black artist oil paint. It is intentionally uneven as it would be in an old window of such.
The frame is trompe-l'oeil stone
The entire work in painted of a flat wall. The work is so realistic that one has to actually touch it to verify that it is a flat windowless wall!
THERE IS NO WINDOW !
The work is huge!
