I’ve been enjoying some short sessions painting from chaos this week. Here’s what this acrylic on 300 lb watercolor paper looks right now…
I began with some light washes of orange and blue. Once dry I wet the paper 
and dumped a layer of yellow and two reds. While still wet I used some texturing tools and a brayer to lift some areas. This made some subtle checkered and leafy textured places. 
Some areas were still quite wet and I patted down a garbage bag and left it sit overnight. Today I pondered the results and it is giving me a feeling of Koi fishes… I saw plenty of those in Japan and have loads of photos to help me out. Before I commit to making this about fish, I thought I would add a few general fish shapes. I made most of the edges soft because I want lots of options tomorrow.
Cheers!
Pretty cool sis. It's crazy how one can go a good part of their life and not know all this is inside them. I marvel at God's ability to take the attacks of the enemy on our lives and bring such beauty and expression out of them. Keep up the good work. Harvey
