I’m in the middle of painting two more Rainbow Pride acrylic art series. One is themed on galactic subjects and uses quite a bit of my special metallic powder / acrylic media slurries. I thought you might be interested in seeing the techniques I use to mix my pouring media and slurries. If you have similar ideas, please share in the comments section below. Thanks and I hope you enjoy!! #howtopaint #metallicpaint #floetrol #metalart #abstractprints #abstractacrylicpaintings #abstractflowerart #acrylicart #abstarctart #interiordesigner #interiordesignideas #modernart #fluidart #galacticart #gayprideartwork #gayprideart #fineartpaintings #rainbowart #abstractnature #texturedpainting #fluidart #emergingartist #leagueofrestonartists #restonartist #herndonartist #virginiaartist #artspaceherndon

I’ve finished compiling all of the footage I shot of all the 22 layers that led to the final result I named Revolving Singularity. As I was posting progress shots during the five months or so that it took to finish this piece, I’ve had a couple of enquiries about this four panel piece - Revolving Singularity…… What does it mean? and What inspired it? The first question first - and this will be pretty “left side of the brain”!! A singularity is often synonymous with a black hole - something that blows up all the math when it comes relating size, mass and density. It has no size and it has infinite mass so that means density has no meaning. Very “ABSTRACT” right? But we have (scientists have) observed these things with deep space telescopes. So another case of “REALISM” we struggle to understand. And… being infinitely massive, these singularities swallow everything that comes too close to their pull of gravity. All kinds of matter swirl “down the drain” of the singularity. And when you look at water draining from a sideways angle, some of the water is heading toward you and some of the water away form you. To the folks that observe the universe, the stuff coming at you looks more blue, and the stuff moving away from you looks more red. Now what inspired it. Actually, as I mentioned in a couple of recent posts referring to @ellenbrennemanstudio video on creating in series - this work is actually in one of four series I’m currently working on. This is from the “Galactic Series” - the others at this time are “Rainbow Pride”, “Zodiac” and “Bookshelf Art”. I was letting my imagination explore possibilities that I could try to attempt a piece inspired by the four panel formats often created by @johnbeckleyart.

Link to Blog - www.wmcreativeart.com/blog Here is the video showing the process of creating the painting “Rose Zodiac” as the foundation for two members of the Zodiac series. The Zodiac series of Dutch pours are designed to mimic the colors of birthstones throughout the year. I like subtle pastel colors of the Rose gemstone - this is Scorpio Rose. The foundation artwork, “Rose Zodiac” is a bookshelf original paining and is available for purchase. The Zodiac templates serve as a basis for creating various reproductions, but the original bookshelf works are truly one-of-a-kind. They are hand signed and hand named on the back and double signed with a Certificate of Authenticity bearing a unique hologram serial number and seal which is logged in my records and provided to you on delivery. Bookshelf Originals come with their own display easel. Or if you would rather purchase them as a smaller-scale piece of framed wall art, please contact me so we can discuss and choose form the available options. If framed for wall art my first recommendation would be a floating frame display. The frame material, color, size and mat options are your’s to decide. I can source most choices and fabricate my own frames in most cases. If you are interested in the original or prints of the base painting “Rose Zodiac”, feel free to explore other pieces at the web address below…. https://www.wmcreativeart.com/small-bookshelf-acrylics #acrylicart #abstarctart #originalartwork #acrylicpouring #artezaacrylics #artistloftpaints #bronzepowderart #metallicart #metallicacrylic #bookshelfart #originalart #dutchpour #decoratecollaborations #decoratewithart #fluidart #octoberbirthday #zodiacart #librasign #horoscopeart #libra #scorpioisign #scorpio #createwithplazaart #artforsale #restonartist #making artvideo #virginiaartist #emergingartist #artforthehome

This is a video showing the process of creating original art. This painting is one of the twelve “Bookshelf Originals” from the Zodiac series. This is for the month of August in the Zodiac series - it is colored to mimic the gemstone Peridot. Bookshelf Originals come with their own display easel. Or if you would rather purchase them as a smaller-scale piece of framed wall art, please contact me so we can discuss and choose form the available options. “Peridot” measures 5 x 5 inches and the mockup display shows it to scale. If framed for wall art my first recommendation would be a floating frame display. The frame material, color, size and mat options are your’s to decide. I can source most choices and fabricate my own frames in most cases. This work can also be reproduced in a variety of formats including canvas wrap, acrylic print or metallic prints in larger sizes up to around 15 x 15 unframed. More on those options in a follow-up post on “Peridot’s” details. If you are interested in the original or prints of “Peridot”, please contact me for more info, or feel free to explore other pieces at the web address below…. https://www.wmcreativeart.com/shop-prints #acrylicart #abstarctart #acrylicpouring #artezaacrylics #artistloftpaints #bronzepowderart #metallicart #metallicacrylic #bookshelfart #originalart #dutchpour #fluidart #augustbirthday #zodiacart #leosign #horoscopeart #leo #virgosign #virgo #createwithplazaart #emergingartist #arlingtonartist #restonartist #herndonartist #virginiaartist #artworkvideo #howtovideo #makingartvideo

This is first completed piece in the second Rainbow Pride series. As I was adding the various layers it struck me that it was resembling and abstraction of a group of daffodils - so I now had the inspiration for the rest of the six painting - abstractions of various flowers. I saw a YT video in the last few days created by @ellenbrennemanstudio on the subject of creating art in series. It’s good advice for those of you interested. Anyway I named this one Daffodilis because it is an abstraction of reality. This original measures 20 x 20 inches on Lev3 stretched canvas. It has no metallics in it - all various shades of yellow and some greens from my Arteza paints and a little Artist loft. This piece is available. The framed original would be around 24 x 24 inches. I would recommend a floating frame and we can customize the frame and floating mat colors to suit your space. And if you are interested in testing how this piece would work in your home or office please consider using my free “Room Rendering” service. This work can also be reproduced in a variety of formats including canvas wrap, acrylic print or metallic prints in both smaller or much larger sizes up to around 60 x 60 inches unframed.

Here is the overview short video that accompanies yesterday’s post for Daffodils: This first completed piece in the Rainbow Pride series dried enough to play with it a little more.

Today I thought I would start by sharing the process video to IGTV for the foundation artwork for the “Garnet” birthstone for January. “Garnet” is a bookshelf original paining and is available for purchase. Garnet is the tenth of the twelve foundation paintings for the Zodiac series templates. The Zodiac series of Dutch pours are designed to mimic the colors of birthstones throughout the year. I like vibrant colors of the garnet gemstone - January. This was my late sister’s and father’s birthstone so I wanted to get the intensity of the color of garnet as right as I could. (BTW Dad and Diane had a great influence on my art and life - see “My Story” on my website to learn more if interested….) “Garnet” is a bookshelf original painting and is available for purchase. The Zodiac templates serve as a basis for creating various reproductions, but the original bookshelf works are truly one-of-a-kind. They are hand signed and hand named on the back and double signed with a Certificate of Authenticity bearing a unique hologram serial number and seal which is logged in my records and provided to you on delivery.

This shows the process of layering a Dutch pour over top of the palette knife and blended brush layers.

This video is the first in what I hope is a long series of demonstrations and explanations about how I develop my artwork This piece is devoted to the Zodiac Series fluid art painting named “Diamond 2” (and it includes the footage showing why there even was a Diamond 2!!!) And not to repeat myself (but I guess I am!) because I’m sure I mentioned before - here’s the interesting thing about the Zodiac series. These works can be reproduced in a wide variety of formats fulfilled either as a unique reproduction by me, or other standard formats including canvas wrap, acrylic print or metallic prints by my fulfillment manufacturer partners. Reproductions in much larger sizes up to around 15 x 15 unframed are possible for this piece. And here’s a unique opportunity to consider. How about your own original Encaustic Photography reproduction of Diamond? I would block mount an archival print reproduction up to 13 x 13 inches in size on a wood substrate. The work would be sealed and have your own original pigmentation wax additives to make it you own.
