I am writing this on my cell phone–I have tried for several days to log on using my laptop, but it wouldn’t log in. So, in desperation, I took a picture of the image on my computer screen with my cell phone, and hopefully I’ll be able to upload it. The result is barely acceptable, but you can get the idea of what happened. I have been working on perfecting my pouring technique using Tyvek and acrylics. The process uses quite a bit of paint, most of which runs off. I’ve been collecting this, and for this painting I used some that seemed a beautiful greenish black color. I just sort of dipped the sheet of Yupo in it. As soon as I could I squirted some gesso on the liquid paint. There were still a few drops of the greenish goo in the bottom of the pan and it seemed a little thicker, so I dropped them on the still wet paint. =================== Obviously, I was never able to upload the file of the painting, so now that I’m back to my desktop computer and able to log in, I’ve corrected the spelling and grammatical errors above, and will now continue to explain what happened and what your seeing on the painting. Where the gesso landed it just seemed to push the fairly liquid dark color aside. Where the drops of goo landed they also pushed aside the base color, and separated as well. It’s an interesting painting, and I’m calling it “Sunset Cliffs”

I put a little bigger image up, so click on it to see the details around the circles and the gesso. Should title this, “How make a painting, paint itself.” Now I’ll be back to regular posting again. Had a wonderful time in FL.
