Art Glass Composer
Light screens in the Prairie manner
A tall casement on a 13 by 34 grid, two Fibonacci numbers, or a 21 by 21 square for a barn quilt block. Paint cells, chevrons and circles, keep most of the field clear, let the came do the drawing. Start from one of the studio's compositions or a blank sash. Right click or hold Alt to erase. The address bar carries your window, so copy it to share.
Mostly clear, with touches of autumn color. That restraint is the whole trick.
Smaller squares and circles sit inside their cell with clear glass around them.
The square is for barn quilt blocks and transom lights. Changing it clears the sash.
How These Are Drawn
The Prairie light screen was a linear design first and colored glass second. The came, the lead line, carried the composition; the glass was the insertion. Windows ran the full height of the casement, motifs gathered along a vertical spine or in the upper third, and color was held to a small share of a mostly clear field, in the autumn palette of amber, gold, iridescent green and a little red. The grid here is orthogonal with 45 degree cuts, which is what a T-square and a triangle give you. Everything in this composer is original work in that grammar.
