Radar the Paintar at the Rainbow Bridge

Radar the Paintar was a rescued greyhound who discovered a talent for painting.  He trained as a therapy dog and his paintings (called paintarings) were donated to raise money to rescue other dogs.  His work inspired me to try stained glass in 2015 (if a greyhound could be an artist, perhaps I could, too).  When he died too young, his people were devastated, so I used a favorite photo of Radar with one of his actual works as the inspiration for this 8" x 10" oval panel, using Glass Eye 2000 to draw the pattern.  The crowning piece is a photo art fused glass copy of one of his paintarings.
