I really wanted to get the effect of watercolours in a painting of a stained glass window, but I knew I definitely didn't want to do just do a window straight on, totally static. After awhile I settled on this; it was fun experimenting not only with the effect of light coming through stained glass - which I feel I failed at - but also to play around with the whole effect of how the light would fall on other surfaces. I liked making the window NOT the main focus of the picture, and really enjoyed doing the contrast of cheerful bright light with that especially dark corners, and portraying the stones/bricks - solid, hard, cold objects - with soft vibrant tones and curved lines as well as straight ones. Very pleased with the experience, even if not 100% happy with the results.
