 i've been so  busy spring cleaning and organizing my art space

that i haven't painted in months

yesterday i finally got a chance to get back at it

i've been dreaming of water and mountains lately

and think that has influenced my work 

i was stuck for ideas so i started with a simple color palette

of blues , grey and white

i used the heat gun to marbleize the colors together

 and then rubbed on iridescent white paint

then hit it with the heat gun again

i love how the paint floats and cracks

i think this will inspire a whole new series
