Window Glass Painting

Art Glass could be said as one of the finest talents any one could have. Through the centuries, this art of painting on glass is considered not only holistic but also very endearing. It is one of the talents that give credibility to the art of painting. Glass paintings are exuberant and sophisticated. They are often seen as part of the ancient collections that are displayed in museums and many antique art galleries. Some of the huge fans of 'Art Glass' are the kings and high priests that reigned during ancient times. Paintings on glass are often residents of palaces and rich mansions where people treasure this art and keep them in their homes to light up their homes with exuberance.

India, the country in Asia has a collection of this artwork in their palaces stored for tourists and visitors to see. The beauty of Taj Mahal in India is one of the artworks of glass paintings. This monument is not only a remembrance of a love story between husband and wife, but it also depicts the beauty of Art carved on the glass. Its sophisticated look attracts many tourists from all over the world.





However, the beauty of painting on glass begins with not only portraying the reality of life and carving it on the glass but it portrays the significance of the artwork. Art of painting on glass definitely requires a lot of patience and concentration by the one who is doing the job. Nonetheless, the fruit of patience and diligence pays it off when the artwork on the glass comes out to be twice as rewarding when displayed in museums or art galleries.
In addition, painting on glass requires a sleek hand that just carves through the glass and silently paints into the carvings the colours of love that kill many hearts. It is just like free hand design but only done with lot of hard work and dedication to bring out the right element in the end. It is the wonder of wonders and an art of arts which takes a huge commitment in putting in the effort and waiting to reap its results. It is seen as the joy for some who hold this art close to their hearts. It is funny to even fathom of why kings and queens might treasure such an art. It is not a surprise that in olden times, 'glass' was considered to be delicate object and hence it carried a lot of significance during those times. It was considered highly valuable and so to carve paintings on the glass was considered to be one of the gifted talents of those days. However, even today the thoughts have not changed about this art, though glass today can be very inexpensive the paintings carved on a glassware are still treasured and seen as monument highly deserved to be kept in showcases or galleries where people can just 'woo' and glorify the art.
