Another one of my Pollack like paintings just left my apt with a happy new owner. This is the third one I've given away in the last year or so. The fellow today was delivering groceries to me and he remarked about my works and liked them so I told him the one I was ready to "let go" and he liked it a lot and so walked out with it. Makes me feel so good to give these kind of gifts to strangers and those who appreciate. Two to food delivery fellows and one went to a computer tech who worked on my computer last month. Lots of smiles from the giver and receiver.

Now I can finish my pot of chili since I have more ingredients now.

I have a large glass fish bowl that I want to paint an acrylic scene on. I am an absolute novice, so this should be interesting.

If I had a desire to do that, I would do a wild colorful abstract along Pollack's works. I can envision it now.

Sounds like a fun project. I can see it in my mind's eye right now.

I used to paint on glass when you could easily find specialized glass paint. Make sure the outside of the fishbowl is clean! There's a lot of how-to stuff on teh innerwebz, especially the Tube.

Good luck!

haha Awesome! That's really a nice idea. I think I'll start doing that as well.
