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 ½” D.
“Winter at the Ranch” presents a tranquil winter landscape rendered entirely in glass, capturing the quiet stillness of a western rural scene. The artwork features a vertical rectangular panel framed simply with wood and metal, allowing the focus to remain on the subtle interplay of light and texture within the glass surface. A moody sky, composed of layered shades of blue and gray, hints at the weight of gathering clouds. Below the horizon, the land is depicted with understated tones of white, brown, and black, suggesting lingering patches of snow across a rugged terrain.
A rustic cabin positioned near the edge of the composition, alongside a distant corral, anchors the scene in a sense of place and human presence without overwhelming the natural atmosphere. The glass medium, free from any paint, is manipulated through delicate layering and textural contrasts of crushed to produce depth and an almost tactile quality in the landscape elements. This approach invites viewers to appreciate the subtle shifts in color and form that evoke a quiet moment of reflection amidst a winter setting, offering a fresh perspective on familiar rural imagery.
