This stained glass piece of art consists of 4 separate stained glass pieces set into an old barnboard window frame. 20.5" wide by 23.5" tall. A personal favorite of the artist's, a photo just does not do justice to the real creation. The wooden window frame came from a barn in the Crowsnest Pass. The stained glass panels were some of the earliest designs by the artist.
