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 16”H x 16”W x ½” D.
 
“Starring Santa Fe” invites viewers into a quiet moment during late autumn in the Santa Fe mountains, captured entirely through the layered textures and translucency of glass. The composition centers on tall aspen trees with their iconic white trunks and slender branches, some softly crowned with golden leaves that shimmer against the cooler elements of the scene. Patches of snow rest unevenly on the forest floor, interspersed with exposed earth, creating a delicate balance between lingering winter frost and the fading warmth of fall. 
Behind the aspens, rolling hills bathed in warm amber hues provide a gentle, glowing backdrop that contrasts with the crisp blues and soft browns of the foreground, highlighting the subtle transition between seasons. The depth of the piece emerges from the careful layering and manipulation of glass, where variations in transparency allow light to move across the surface, enhancing the sense of space and atmosphere. The overall effect is one of peaceful introspection, where the quiet beauty of nature’s changing rhythms is both palpable and poetic, achieved without the use of paint but solely through the nuanced interplay of glass.
