I recently helped with the restoration of two stained glass windows. These have been reinstalled in the church.

In one window, titled "The Emmanuel Window", I painted the feet of Jesus (for a month) and the robe in the lower 1/4 of the Jesus figure, as well as various fragments in other places. Click here to see a picture of this restored window.
