Color Blocks & River of Cells - GREEN & GOLD - Nature Inspired - Acrylic Pouring Fluid Art

Hey Everyone! Thank you for being here today.
Today I am doing a ring pour with a swipe! I want to create balance between lines and cells. I absolutely LOVE green tones and this is one of my favorite pieces I've created - what do you think?

Color Palette:
Paints were mixed with Owatrol (UK version of the US Floetrol) 1 part paint, 2 parts pouring medium. Mixed together with a dash of water and Liquidex Gloss Varnish Liquid (for the shine) to make it slightly more fluid. For the white swipe I used 1 part paint, 1 part Australian Floetrol. The piece is varnished with Winsor & Newton Gloss Varnish Spray.
Amsterdam: Titanium white, Olive green light, emerald green, brilliant green, olive green deep.
Pebeo: iridescent gold and green yellow
Hair/Blow Dryer: I currently use the Remington D3010 and always use the cool setting unless I specify otherwise.

Honestly Mark I don't think I have ever watched you creating your art and not loved the end result, this piece is beautiful and that gold is amazing, I don't know what you used to do for a living but I would say you've found your place in art, you're a natural x

Wow!! You’ve made my day. Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful encouragement 😊🙏😊

[@harlanbergum952]

Thank you Mark. Not only do I love green and this is a spectacular representation of the different shades, I really appreciated your technique of looking at the composition as you stretched it. I’m definitely going to pay more attention to that phase of art making.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much Harlan. Really appreciate your kind words of support and encouragement. That’s one thing that I do quite often, never afraid to stop and step back and look at overall compositions 😊👍🏻

I love love love this painting Mark!!!. I do have a problem with green, but I think I could get along with it in this form, you did an amazing job. I noticed that when you swipe, you have this wonderful way of just skimming the top ever so thinly. My hands are not so steady but giving it another go!. Thank you so much.🙏🏼💚

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank YOU so so much for your kind feedback and support.
It took me a while to learn how to glide over the top of the paint but perseverance is key and I just know you can do it 🤞🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love all shades of green and how beautiful they look together .. It's my favorite color .. I don't know where teal stands on the color chart, but it is another beautiful color as well .. proper teal .. not all these knockoff versions of the color ..
The true Hue of teal with proper color saturation looks .. electric ..
I must say the green paintings you do are very relaxing to look at . I, for one, thought this came out great .. 👌
