Artist Barrie Brown's glass landscapes reflect serene and romantic landscapes and seascapes that are full of infused light and atmospheric softness. The unique process Barrie developed creates art pieces filled with multifaceted, layered images and shimmering light. The stand-alone sculpture piece is uniquely framed in hardwood ready for display. The actual glass piece is 15”H x 8”W x  1/2” D.
 
“End of Summer” captures the nuanced transition between land, sea, and sky in a contemplative seascape. The composition begins with a sandy shore at the base, rendered in warm golden and brown tones that suggest the fading warmth of late summer. This shoreline flows seamlessly into a vivid blue ocean, where gentle waves break softly against the beach, creating a rhythmic movement that draws the eye upward. 
The middle section extends the ocean toward a distant horizon, marked by a subtle silhouette of land or mountains in muted, earthy browns. Above this, the scene shifts to a dynamic, overcast sky where layers of dark grays, blues, and lighter areas blend with a fluid, almost abstract quality. This atmospheric top section evokes a reflective mood, hinting at the quiet shift of seasons as summer draws to a close.

Carefully crafted entirely from glass without the use of paint, the piece emphasizes the inherent depth and luminosity of the medium. The colors and textures arise from the glass itself, revealing a delicate interplay of light and transparency that changes with the viewer’s perspective. Mounted on a minimalist stand combining wood and metal, the artwork invites close engagement while maintaining a clean, refined presentation that complements its natural subject matter. This work conveys a subtle narrative of transition, encouraging thoughtful reflection on the serene yet transient beauty found at the close of a season.
