Dragon Smoke

Description

8×8 canvas framed to 9.5×9.5 in black wood float frame.

Dragon trails and Dragon tales! Abstract colorful patterns swirl across a background of lacy, curling smoke.
Dragon Smoke is the fourth in this experimental series of small poured acrylic paintings. As in the first three, I used blues, greens, gold, and copper. The techniques included swiping, spinning, and modifications with a pointed stick. With this one, however, I added a completely new step. I added some areas of swiping with black on the white background, which then was stretched out and took on the look of smoke as the painting progressed.
