Warning: my kid spilled paint on the garage floor and it looks like a sunset

We were painting a birdhouse last weekend and a whole cup of orange acrylic tipped over on the concrete. When it dried, the splatter pattern mixed with some old oil stains and now it looks like a perfect desert landscape. Has anyone else had a mess turn into something you almost want to frame?

That's the best kind of happy accident.

I get what you mean, stellat87, but I've always found the best outcomes come from careful planning, not chance. Like when I mapped out my garden last spring, every plant had a spot for a reason. A happy accident feels more like luck covering for a lack of intent.

Allen.victor, my whole life is dogs that plan to chase squirrels but find a better stick instead.
