The first thing to note about my painting on this medium is that it is NOT ANYTHING LIKE Stained Glass. Stained glass looks the same from either side, but not my work.
The only similarity between my work and stained glass is that side A and side B are reversed. When you look at the reverse side of my work, you are looking backwards in time to the first layers put down. I know, it's complicated!
Another major difference between my work and stained glass is that my work has area's that may be very opaque, so light does not transmit evenly through the entire work. And on the reflective side, because you are really seeing the art in a 3D way, the light can reflect and bounce off and through it in very unusual ways.
Upon completion of a work I determine if it is what I call a two sided (example to the left with "Wonder") or one sided (example, last of these images) work. If it is a one sided work then it gets framed accordingly. Of course if only one side is preferred then it can be hung in such a way as to only see one side such as against or close to a wall. A two sided work can then be hung in a window, beside a window, hung to create a partition of a particular area, or anywhere inside....
Some people fear that acrylic glass can be scratched. Yes it can, but so also can almost ANY work of art if you scratch it. If you treat the work just as you would any fine art, it will outlive you, your children, and your children's children. Once the acrylics cure on the glass they will not come off with normal careful handling like you would do with any fine art piece. I have a few art works in my inventory that are 15 years old, and they look exactly as they did 15 years ago.
Go to the Acrylic Glass Gallery and see what is available.
