I am so happy with the way the painted piece was reproduced.  Lynda Marshall did a great job.  She’s my painting teacher, so I think I’m in good hands!  The major work I did aside from replacing the painted piece was to replace the border lead with zinc.  The lead was falling apart and using zinc helped to make a much more stable window.  There was also a lot of paint splatter and cleaning that off helped to make the window look like it did when it was first put together.  I can’t wait until the church installs the windows when the space is completed.  I’ll be sure to take pictures.
