Colorful Sunfish Sailboats Racing Across a Sunlit Sea
From our studio in Folsom, Louisiana, the Sunfish Regatta Illusion Glass captures the pure joy and vibrant energy of small sailboats racing across open water. Brightly colored Sunfish sails cut dynamically through the composition, their crisp forms slicing through sunlit waves while the hand-painted and leaded glass creates shifting patterns of light and movement. The translucent qualities of the glass allow daylight to pass through and illuminate the scene from within, transforming the piece into a luminous, living painting that glows with the warmth and optimism of a perfect sailing day.
Hand-painted with specialized European glass enamels that fuse permanently to the surface, each sail and wave is rendered with meticulous attention to color, reflection, and depth. The composition achieves a remarkable illusion of motion and radiant sunlight dancing across the water. Under ambient indoor lighting, the work reveals itself as a masterful, painterly seascape filled with energy and delight.
The artwork is framed in traditional lead came construction and accented with hand-twisted copper elements that provide both structural strength and refined artistic detail. It rests on a custom display base that enhances its luminous presence, allowing the regatta scene to come alive whether viewed in bright natural light or soft interior illumination.
Created through more than 60 hours of meticulous handwork, this piece represents a harmonious blend of traditional stained-glass technique and contemporary narrative artistry. Every Sunfish Regatta Illusion Glass is a unique original, with natural variations in glass, pigment, and light refraction ensuring no two works are ever identical.
Dimensions: Approximately 8” oval in diameter, 12”-17” height from base to top.
Materials: Hand-cut art glass, lead came and solder, European enamel glass paints, hand-twisted copper wire, custom display base.
Price: $995
Serious inquiries welcome. Message for additional photos, custom variations, or shipping details. Each piece emerges after more than 60 hours of meticulous handwork and remains a unique original.
