Dream

A leaded glass window panel made of triangular, clear pieces hangs in the foreground. Through this panel, a the front facade of a cream-colored, bungalow style house is seen. The focus on the panel is sharp with the house and background blurred. The peak of the house is bathed in setting sunlight. The clear glass and faceted edges of the panel in the foreground divide the view of the house and refract the colors of the scene. The predominant colors are blues from the sky, browns from the landscape in shadow, and warm golds on the house.
