Evolution..

I was looking through some of my art books and spied this real cool looking background procedure...only I didn't choose colors very well. They mixed up looking more green than I thought they would. I did like the process though. Choose your colors and dribble them and puddle them *hint* don't use too much...it will make a lot more than you think. At the end of the 'canvas' create the puddle and lines and at the top will be the master color, a straight line across. (I think I am telling this right)
Pull it all to the end of the 'canvas' this will stain the surface. I collected the staining paint onto a second surface and the result is below on a piece of cardboard.

Since I didn't particularly like the stain...I have had trouble working with it...this is the result so far, trying to 'lighten' it up. I am still going to work on it more. I like where it is headed now though.

I collected what pulled off the first canvas and pulled that across a second canvas...a piece of cardboard...and pulled the 'stain' to the end of that piece...let it all dry.

Here is the cardboard piece with added layers. I really like where this piece is going.

On the canvas substrate I had added a couple of transfer images, only I didn't like the result so I painted over them...I tell you this so you realize there isn't a mistake in the creation of paintings, it is an evolution!
