The unique properties of glass can express rather different perspectives. Glass is at one angle transparent allowing human eyes to see through it, but at another angle it can reflect the light or shape of any other objects. Sometimes it is even capable of distorting images, for example a person's face looking into the glass observed from the opposite side. These properties of transparency, reflection and distortions not only could be used to create visually unique and interesting paintings, but also can be mixed with different ideas and objects in order to show different angles or hidden perspectives of the subjects and thus recreate them.
I know we're supposed to comment on one good thing and one bad thing here...but THIS is AMAZING! For the 2nd piece, the color, the value, the emphasis ALL seem to fit with the picture. It feels obvious that the piece should be like that. Even with the first piece, everything compliments each other. This is weird since you don't have much contrast in your second piece and a blatant one in the first. And since you need to fix something here, I would say that the you need more values in the glass piece like maybe a bit of red to show that its glass and does reflect the blood in the heart and so on.
