Using this old, faded, salvaged glass bird for this custom, traditional style window I’m working on. Loving the lil sky blue mosaic on both ends of the window as well #gn #grownostr #art #business

Lead restoration for this window. Beautiful colours, just in time for the summer 🌞🪟 #gn #grownostr #art #business

Dirty job removing these original windows. Many layers of trim deep but we got them out Taking these back to my bench to do a full lead restoration and thermal encapsulation of the pair #gm #grownostr #art #business

A one-of-a-kind stained glass installation laying two windows on top of one another The homeowner loved the design of the original window but felt the colours weren’t complementing the home well. They didn’t want to remove the window either, so we came to the idea of stacking the windows. They were an artist themselves, so they appreciated the contemporary approach The final result is a beautiful layered window that creates a 3 dimensional effect, adding some serious depth and movement to the window #gn #grownostr #art #business #architecture

@jack mallers, loved that keynote. The art renaissance is under way! I switched from my corporate consultant job into art and business 1.5 years ago. People ask why when I was starting out and I would tell them that the renaissance is coming.. They always just thought I was chicken little screaming the sky is falling

Close up details of this recent window commission. One of my favourites I’ve done #gm #grownostr #art #business

Porto for the last week. Such a beautiful city 🇵🇹 #gm #grownostr #travel #portugal

Love the boldness of this one. The points. The dramatic deep red. The balance of textures 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 My client is an interior designer so she wanted a window that was a traditional design with intensity in the textured and colours to match the interior of her home #gn #grownostr #art #business

#asknostr, those with kids, do you regret it? I see people with children and they look miserable. As if all the life has been sucked out of them. Do you feel the same? Don’t sugar coat it

Red and white for the kick off of the World Cup, go Canada ⚽️🇨🇦 #gn #grownostr #soccer

Rich textures coming together on this one #gn #grownostr #art #business

Tax season is here for my business It’s kind of daunting staring my finances in the face knowing the salary I was making when I worked corporate But hey, so far so good. Running a profitable business in my first full year at bat. Just have to stay patient, remind myself that life doesn’t need to be so serious, and enjoy the wave while I’m in it 🌊 #gn #grownostr #business

Action shot of a big installation this morning #gm #grownostr #art #business

120 year old window restored. 3 glass replacements and entirely new lead #gm #grownostr #art #business

There’s some philosophical quote somewhere in this photo with the melted grey siding showing the original wooden colourful siding #gm #grownostr

Was in Portofino Italy, a year ago Easily one of the most beautiful regions of the world I’ve travelled to #gn #grownostr #travel

Felt immense gratitude today. Something I haven’t felt in a while. Sometimes you’re so entrenched in the small details of this fast moving life that you don’t find yourself stepping back to see where you’re at and what’s around you.. Ain’t that a trip #gn #grownostr #life

I’ve finally dealt first hand with the crutch of AI Been dealing with a client for the last week who was convinced that the grains in his window texture were cracks. He kept sending me l ChatGPT responses to help his perspective.. the biggest yes man of them all. Took much energy to bring him down to earth to see what he was looking at. He eventually came around But damn chatGPT really making people trust it more than people #gn #grownostr #ai #business #art

The brother in law came by the instal to grab some action shots #gn #grownostr #art #business

Some more Ernest #gn #nostr #bookstr
