Calm in the Storm 8

Many if the artworks are pyography (wood burning). Ocean themeds calm me & the smell of the smoke grounds me. I like to wood burn different types of objects. I also enjoyed painting on shoes- shoe art! Why not brighten others day as your shoes are seen even when masks are on, I use acrylics w a clear sealants spray on canvas shoes.

A photograph of a colorful, abstract canvas painting. The painting was created by a poured paint method, resulting in curvy organic shapes and cells. Bright orange, purple, green and blue paints move inward from the left edge toward the green, red, and yellow paints coming in from the right edge. These colors don’t exactly mix, but intertwine with each other into a freeform stream down the center of the canvas. White paint fills the gaps between these interactions and mixes with the other colors.
