Sunset translation




From Wikipedia....

Mosaic is the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It may be a technique of decorative art, an aspect of interior decoration, or of cultural and spiritual significance as in a cathedral. Small pieces, normally roughly cubic, of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae, (diminutive tessellae), are used to create a pattern or picture.


Every day there is inspiration coming into view for mosaic design. Here in San Diego, there are beautiful sunsets galore that inspire new designs for paintings, mosaics and graphic art. Pictured here is a sunset that inspired the following design for a mosaic arch in a garden retreat. The size is 42 inches wide by 30 inches high. Picture the individual pieces in glass tile of many different sizes.
