so you take an old window, you know, the kind folks put on the curb when they get those brand new, high insulation windows. and you take it to the studio and scape off the loose paint and remove the rusty stuff. and then you use windex and clean up the glass. then you paint on the back side in reverse fashion. of course you have to paint what will appear on the other side so you must be real careful and after you scrape two or three tries off the damn thing...well you end up with something like this.

and sometimes....well...you just have to put a piece of yourself out there.

Very cool, John.  You are a talented artist!  Thank you for sharing.

Reverse painting on old windows is actually one of my wife's favorite pastimes.

John,

That's very cool.  Painting in reverse has to be a difficult task.  I'm impressed.

I am always finding ways to recycle some items into art pieces, but that one had not occurred to me. Thank you.

I've taken old windows and turned them into mosaic glass art.  Yours takes a lot more talent!
