Electric Peak Reflected in Swan Lake, a framed stained glass mosaic 25″x49″, 2018 ~SOLD

This mosaic was inspired by my first visit to Yellowstone in 2012. One day while driving to go hiking, this view caught my attention – Electric Peak prominently standing beyond the brightly colored foothills. To add to the beauty the scenery was perfectly reflected in Swan Lake which felt as clear and still as glass. We pulled over at a look out to admire the reflection of the picturesque landscape in the lovely lake. We walked around and marveled at the serenity while little songbirds flew around us. 

The beginning of the mosaic. I used a light print our of my photo as a composition guide, while the rest of the map for my mosaic was in my head.

Phew … the trees in this piece got to be pretty small which required a ton of time. It felt really good to be moving onto the sky.

The sky was my favorite part of this mosaic. I love this blue glass. With it and the pattern I created, I worked to capture the feeling of the bluebird sky wrapping around the mountain.

 Grouting in black to accentuate the pattern in the sky.
