Acrylic Pouring: Rainbow Swipe Waves and Random Swipes
I made two new pouring paintings. I also made a video of these artworks. You can check them out in my Artsy Sister Tiktok and Youtube Channels. It has been a bit of a while since I did pouring painting. So, it was a good a time as any to make these paintings. I photographed the main painting and two details. I think they came out alright. I used wood for these paintings. Wood is smoother than canvas. I added a bit of white acrylic over the wood to keep the paint from sinking. I think both artworks...
Barcelo Maya Palace Wall Art Décor Travel
Today, I wanted to write a blog about some of the nice décor I saw in the Barcelo Maya Palace. When one talks about a resort, it is important to talk about the ambience.

She gave us...

Pouring Art Disability Pride Month: Disability, Bipolar, and Autism
(Disability Pride Flag) Today, I got around to posting the flags I made for Disability pride month. I made three different versions of the disability flag. The other two flags are for bipolar and autism. I hope that you find my new artwork amusing and inspiring. (Disability Pride Flag) I first prepared the wooden panels by adding gesso to it. The layer of gesso had to be really thin. This allows for a smooth flow of the pouring paints. The bipolar flag is not the official flag. I just thought that it was an interesting design for it. (Disability...
