This painting was executed with a pure "glazing" technique. Multiple transparent layers of paint are build up on the canvas. As light penetrates the transparent layers and reflects off the white of the canvas below, it produces a visual glow similar to stained glass. The canvas is stretched over wood panel to facilitate the glazing process and also provides more rigidity and protects the back of the canvas.

John Chan lives and works in Long Beach California. Formally trained in the studio arts with a concentration in drawing and painting, he has transitioned from the painting easel to the computer, creating compositions in the digital realm. Some works reference traditional imagery, while others are purely digital in nature. His interests are deeply rooted in the natural world and its inner workings. It is in this mindset that he explores the possibilities and intricacies of nature, seeking understanding of the patterns and systems, striving to reveal the beauty of its design. At times the resulting effort renders austere images, and at other times, playful whimsical propositions. Although part of him is still drawn to the traditional mediums, the digital workspace provides the chance to explore multiple permutations in real time that are unavailable with other mediums.
