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 12”H x 8”W x ½” D.
 
“Shadows and Bare Wood” presents a tranquil rural scene realized solely through the layered transparency and textures of glass. At its center stands an aged barn with a weathered roof, whose subtle rust tones and uneven lines convey years of exposure to the elements. Surrounding the barn, slender, leafless trees extend their delicate, bare branches upward, creating a striking contrast against the softly diffused background. The ground beneath features a patchwork of green grass and a worn dirt path that gently leads the eye toward the structure, where a solitary hay bale adds a tactile element to the foreground. 
The composition captures a quiet moment suspended between seasons, where the interplay of light and shadow emphasizes both the solidity of the barn and the ephemeral quality of the atmosphere. Without the use of paint, the entire scene emerges from skillful manipulation of glass—its varying thicknesses and layering produce depth and nuance, allowing natural light to animate the textures and subtle color shifts. Displayed simply on a wooden stand that complements its pastoral subject, the piece invites a sense of calm reflection and an appreciation for the understated beauty found in rural landscapes.
