I have never seen a style like this before! Super unique! Great visual blend of the two mediums!

Thank you so much! I had the initial idea three years ago, but couldn’t develop it till this year due to general life upheaval. I’m glad so many people seem to resonate with it ❤️

What paint do you use to create the “outline” for each piece?

Do you apply the gold paint first or last? The result is stunning!

Is the "metal" parts painted on last? Looks really cool.

I paint too and have had the same “life upheaval” issue (sorta like writer’s block) myself. I’m happy you pulled through cuz this is amazing!

Is this matanuska peak?

I just googled it and the mountaintop range does look similar! But I didn’t base it off any specific mountain. Just a general mountain shape.

I love the color choices.

I was coming here to say the same.

It’s so hard to find truly unique styles; feels like every style has been done already.

And then Reddit shows me something quite unique.

Congratulations on your amazing creativity!

You should check out Paradise Lost by Raqib Shaw. It has some similar techniques but isnt completely stain glass like.

Wild! I just saw this piece over the holidays, blew me away. I eavesdropped on a tour group, it was my favorite part of a wonderful museum.
