Effervescence

This is an acrylic pour painting using a drag technique and a cell activator to create this beautiful piece I have called Effervescence.

I set out to great something of a seascape originally. I selected shades of blue, green and aqua, some white for highlights and little touches of purple because it is my favorite color and why not?

I added a cell activator to white which was then dragged over the design I had created and as the cells activated this glorious image appeared. It is exactly what I wanted in terms of colors but it reminds me of an undersea scene, reminiscent of my scuba diving days.

I love the suggestion of bubbles rising up through cool shades of green and blue and over white clouds reminiscent of coral reef. I don't know if as an artist I am allowed to have favorites but this is one of mine. It is relaxing, calm and just a pleasure to gaze upon.

Born in the South of England I now live half way up a mountain in Umbria, Italy. I work from my art studio looking out over fabulous views of the Italian countryside. I am so happy to share my artwork with you.

An artist and blogger, I specialize in photo art and acrylic painting. For my photo art, I start with my own photographs and work on them digitally to capture the feeling I want to convey with the final image. For my abstract work, I literally 'go with the flow' and follow where my heart wants to take me as I work.

I create art to make your heart smile, capturing the spirit of place in towns and villages, or creating art to enhance the energy of your home or workplace. Take your time to look through my portfolio, I hope you enjoy it.
