Walls of Optimism

9/12″ Acrylic on paper

I was literally wiping off a heavily saturated palette knife onto a page in my sketchbook, and I love the way it formed. A few more added swipes and swooshes and this is what happened!

    Very nice how that turned out. Turquoise is my favorite color.

    It’s amazing what a “mistake” or a cleaning procedure can produce!

    Part of the beauty of creating art is that sometimes wonderful things can emerge from seemingly random events! Nice work!

      Oh yeah, that would be awesome! I have an artist friend that has turned her paintings into fabric and she designed some cool clothes, it can be done!

        You ever get into clothing merch that design and color scheme is real fly. Nobody else would be rocking clothes like you and it would be your own creations and folks would buy it.
