Feeling more energy now, I continued working wet in wet , but this time I diluted pastels into the wet paper. I had some florist ribbon handy and made some imprints. Later I tied the painting together with black lines in pastel.

Abstract No. 09

This painting is one of three I did after letting my creativity rest for a few days. I wet the paper after I had done some scribbling with watercolor pencils and Prismacolors. Then, I used pastels to finish up some areas.

Dancing rectangles

Rumberos (Rhumba Dancers)

15x22 multimedia

Done on a half sheet of watercolors . I started with wet-in-wet idea.Let paint flow downward with thin coats of gouache. Blotted with paper towel and began to get texture. After more layers I defined some areas.When I turned the painting upside down,it reminded me of Cuban Rhumba dancers from my native land.

I began with fluid acrylic washes fairly diluted. I had a couple of pieces from Sumi-e poured sheets of colors and I tored out a couple with the copper color on them. I then poured many layers of more acrylic colors. When dried I added the specs of vibrant colors.It was an enjoyable piece

This painting went through a transformation. It was first a watercolor and then I started playing with it. I pour light washes of acrylics and white paint.

Natural Rhythms No. 2

This painting is the last of the pouring series. Again inspired by autumn leaves falling and the feeling of joy I got from seing the autumn.

9x12 acrylics, inks and watercolors

I continued the series of abstracts using the pouring method. I was influenced by the falling leaves of autumn.

Red abstract

9x12 acrylics and FW inks
I cropped this painting and like it a lot better. I used the pouring method and sort of discovered that I liked the red in it better than I did it when it had other colors. Reminded me of a very emotional Spanish tune. Again, I was inspired by music.

Wanderer

9x12 FW inks

This time of the year, after the flowers are gone in my part of the world, it gets windy and I get moody. I find that pouring wet in wet expresses moods that otherwise can't be got with straight painting.The music I put on to paint by completed the mood. Have done a series. This is no.1
