Flowers and Glass



Here is a new painting (well newly dried) Oil paint mixed with Sand (the background). Sand mixed with Acrylic Paint (on the bottom) with broken pieces of glass pressed into it. I hate to waste anything and had too many jars around. I knew I wouldn't use the jar. I could have recycled it, I suppose, but I wanted to try an experiment. I put gold metallic paint in the jar and swirled it around. It coated the glass. I let it dry, then broke the jar and picked out the big pieces. They look cool, with the gold metallic paint behind the glass (but the paint won't stick to glass long term) so they had to be put face down to seal the paint, and the sharp edges. I buried them in the sand mixture to secure the sharp edges. The flower is made from textured material made from pureed junk mail. I haven't done florals for a while and I was in the mood to do something big and colorful for Ebay. This sucker's heavy, though.
