Inspiration Strikes (Updated)

Because you don't put glass over acrylic paintings when you frame them, I have quite a few pieces of old framing glass piled up in my art room. During my break at work today, I was struck with an idea out of the blue. Why not glob some paint onto one of the pieces of glass & smush it around under another piece of glass? Not only would I finally have a use for all of that glass, but I'd effectively get 4 paintings out of each 2 pieces of glass. The paint is still drying in the top image, but they're dry in the images below. The first one below is of the wet paint side (there's a bit of reflection in the top right corner from the light above it. Almost impossible to photograph glass without at least some reflections.) The second one is the flat, glass side. As usual, click on the pictures for larger images.

Personally I like the pulled paint side better. The texture of the river-like protrusions are cool. Held up to the light, however, the protrusions show through the flat side, too. This could be fun!

Update, 2009; I gave one of these to a friend for his birthday last year & only have one left.
