Artwork Specifications
“Scenic Slide”, from the 2017 'WATERSPIRITS' campaign, is a hand-painted, fired glass, iconic Lake Erie landscape, based on a natural vista at Cleveland Metroparks, Rocky River Reservation, Rocky River, OH. Note about production: Creating multiple stained glass works is a production process that involves sequentially applying replicable patterns. The “Scenic Slide” landscape is inspired by our Lake Erie panoramic photographs, and created in a process of firing hand-painted glass produced in an assembly line fashion. Producing a number of works at one time keeps the time, labor and price affordable.

2. Approximately 9" x 4" x 2"

4. Made of 1 x 2 stock lumber (actual dimensions ¾” X 1 ½”)
