Above, the design, using a machine made antique glass for the background, which is available in a larger standard sheet size, requires less background lines to break up the windows.
Above, an enlarged detail of the idea for the "point of light" consisting of etched lines emanating from a central prism surrounded by lightly shade-blasted circles, all on a clear background. The darkness of the background color, above, has been exaggerated to better show the white lines.
Above, the image of the design with branches added at the bottom, near the ark. The glow has been further extended into the squares. I returned the doves to the design with the subtle addition of the 1" circular prism as an eye at each dove. Lines and color added to the ark door design.

 

The above design shown from the exterior, without the ark.
Above, the image of the design set against the background of the park, showing the transparency of the doves.
