The Beauty Of Nature In Historic Long Beach By The Sea,
October 14, 2017

On of the treasures of Southern California is the Naples Island section of Long Beach. We had the pleasure of working with John C. Molina in his newly purchased Mission Revival house built in 1903.

For the grand staircase landing of the home this 5' x 6' window captures the stylized beauty of the lights of the Queensway Bridge and the Long Beach Lighthouse, the pleasures of sailing in the channel or just watching the boats go by with the seagulls, the dolphins, the azure sea and all the beauties of nature.

In the home office, we see an art deco design with a variety of textures of clear glass including beveled glass. Near the top we have depicted the Molina Coat of Arms in the traditional stained glass style with blue flashed antique glass, stained glass painting, and silver stain.

For the final project we were given a large and very old stained glass window with shades of violet, green, yellow and other colors of cathedral glass, highlighted by colorful rondels down the center. This window was reduced in size, restored and installed in an entry door to the family room.
