DADA paints to commission: a panel for a particular wall, a sign for a business, or glass for a door, window or transom.

Before, an AI-generated concept: a Craftsman entry with an oak front door. Its tall pane, the two narrow sidelights and the four-part arched fanlight above are clear glass, looking out to a garden. A staircase rises on the left and a side table with a vase of branches stands on the right.
Painted concept, AI-generated: the same entry with the door pane and the arched fanlight painted in irregular black lines holding cells of red, orange and amber, with blue, violet and magenta down the left side and a few pale cells. The sidelights stay clear.
