Thread Name: BS: Oil painting on glass
Subject: BS: Oil painting on glass
Man is this cool. Brush strokes look gorgeous and bend the light in perfect arcs while light shines through select areas.
A drying oil works like glue. Layer the glass and you can have as many layers of color and backgrounds as you want. Cheap glass shatters but tempered storm windows for big buildings are indestructible but also weigh 50 pounds +
Hang them in a window and the subject floats in mid air.
This doesn't look like stained glass and probably has been done before but its new for me.

I'm also now doing invisible portraits (visible in darkness), color changing landscapes and a tall deep sea encounter painting between whales and strange craft.
While 3 are drying I do 3 more so something is always moving forward.

I now have the first full color painting made by a robot built at the mechatronics lab at Johns Hopkins University. Since it uses spray paint we let it do a painting on heavy gloss paper in my backyard. The robot's designer is Yonaton Lasko.
The robot's name was Can Dinsky and the result was a phantasmagorical dreamscape that is transmogrifyingly surreal.
and I ain't jus whislin Dixie.

An art agent is coming by Tuesday but I feel woefully unprepared.
It took me 4 hours just to look at select digital pictures I did in the last 7 years and have 75% more to review. But that will have to wait.

Time to take out the garbage do the dishes and eat another Commit losenge. no more cigs for me
