I hope you get this, you helped me get out of a dark place October of 2020. My husband of 34 years died of dementia then 11 days later my best friend of 25 years died of covid. At 71, widowed for the third time, having lost 4 children, I was lost and had the same thoughts you did. I started watching the same people you did and you and this style of painting is now my obsession. From the bottom of my heart thank you for saving me by talking to me when I was so very lonely. You are one of my heroes! Your wonderful art work is a great inspiration too, bonus!
I wish I could hug you & (I wonder if those are a thing of the past?) thank you for sharing your story, you’re an inspiration, a survivor, & a reminder to be grateful, & kind, because none of us is promised tomorrow🤗✌️&♥️from🇨🇦
I’m so sorry for your losses. You’ve been through so much! :( I’m so glad you have found encouragement through this joyous and beautiful art form. It helped me to get out of a dark place as well. Continue to enjoy your art therapy and be blessed by the colours and serendipity of acrylic pouring.
Blessings
@@harmony331000 I'll take that hug! Thank you for your beautiful message. Sorry to take so long to reply, am still learning how to do things . Sending prayers and love to all who are struggling with grief and losses, tears do mingle fine with the paint and even seem to get less each day.
@@joycohen938 Thank you for sharing and sending blessings. We are truly blessed to have such a peaceful and calming gift. Be safe lovely lady and enjoy each day. I believe today is a gift from God, that's why it's called the present. What I do with this day is my gift to God. Love and blessings to you.
@@sharongrant9114 Amen!
Fellow Veteran here, Your channel has helped me get started pouring and looking forward to some peace and happiness. Thank you!
I’m a psych nurse working on a locked unit. I owe my sanity to my dogs and pouring. Pouring is like opening the door to another world
My daughter got me interested in pour painting this past year shortly after we lost my youngest son(her younger brother)Anthony. He was diagnosed with colon cancer early 2019(February 5th to be exact)& after a really hard year and 4 months of suffering and fighting he past away just 5 days after his 30th birthday on June 5th, 2020. Pour painting and watching videos on techniques and how to do them from some of y'all here on TH-cam has really been a blessing and a huge part in my healing...so I just want to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU and my the Lord bless you and yours❤💜💙
Thank you for telling part of your story. I have a diploma in Graphic Design and I have drawn and painted since a toddler. I topped art all the way through school and college, and went on to use my skills to varying degrees throughout my life to date. To say I was a perfectionist is an understatement. I am also a self-taught photographer. On the 30th of March, 2021, I confronted a neighbour who was playing death metal music so loud it shook our house. It was 9.30pm. While the female distracted me, the male partner snuck up in the shadows and king hit me. Obliterated my face (surgeons report states) and they performed a massive operation to piece together my skull. Why whole right eye socket was shattered, dislocated jaw, broken nose and my cheekbone was pushed in 2.4cm. The doctors said it looked like I survived a serious car crash. I was just a mess - physically and emotionally. A result of the assault is a blow pupil, double vision, and light sensitivity. Just recently I became interested in this art form. My hope was back. All my art gear could be put to use in a very relaxing and peaceful way. I'm finding it so therapeutic. So please know how much you and your work is appreciated.
This art has been a ministry for my soul.
As I sit hear and watch and listen I want to call you the Bob Ross of acrylic pouring
My fiancee is a disabled veteran with debilitating PTSD and the last year I have gotten him into this form of art. He had multiple suicide attempts, the worst on Christmas last year, and I can say that when I get him to paint and create something, I see a true smile and all the other cares in the world go away for a little bit. Art is great therapy and you are an inspiration to me. Thank you for your service.
Painting/art has helped me through some dark times, even recently when I lost my brother. Art is therapy! Hugs! ❤
Thank you so much! I am sorry for your loss. Hope everything’s going well with you!
I'm so sorry for your loss, I feel for you, truly! I've lost so many people I love in just the past 2 years. A friend passed away unexpectedly yesterday, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. You're so right that Art is Therapy 💜
Hey this is amazing...1st time seeing it and I'm attempting my first ever pour tonight just like this...wish me luck...🎨🖼🎨🎴🎨
God love you
Oh dear Jo, u have come such a long way, a good way. And we are blessed u are back with us .
did you hear me cheering for you? Did you hear me? I was yelling"yeah John“!! and your story touched my heart as well! Thank you so so so so much for trying this now… My next request is that you either do the same thing and incorporate red into the pour or you have red as the main colour and pour the black white and gray for the cell action .
John I wish there was a way that we could paint together… Maybe if I get a tripod and we set up a time maybe we could paint together…?!?? You’re a wonderful human being, your compassionate your caring and I really appreciate your openness and willingness to help all of us. thank you for allowing us into your studio.
HAHA I didnt hear you but I will listen harder next time! You know I am a sucker for red in anything so I may have to take you up on that one! I have a good friend tish that does live streams with multiple creators her channel is "The Artists Haven" I will reach out to her and see if we can get a painting session lined up with all of us together. Thank you so much and have a fantastic weekend Lisa!!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ. Υπέροχο
You inspire me. I lost my mom, dad and five brothers and just thought I needed therapy. I now know that paint is my therapy. God bless you.
Thank you for your service! I have had depression most of my life. It got really bad a few years ago. Then last year my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer, a month later his brother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My husband beat it, but my beautiful brother in law passed away three months later. We couldn't see him before he passed because I got covid. I started painting, it has helped me so much! I even went back to work!😁
Your words to those artist was so heart felt to me because I'm now in a wheelchair and this art form is a life saver for me ..I'm not good at it yet...but it is my therapist!!!
It’s so great that you acknowledged the artists who inspired you snd started you off on your own painting/healing journey. You mention many of the same artists who did the same for me. I’m sure they had little idea of the impact they would have when they were filming their own paint pouring adventures in their kitchens, basements, laundry’s and other ‘make - do’ studios. I’m so grateful for them all and would add Karen of Waterfall Acrylics to my list. I loved Julie Cutts of Pouring Your Heart Out because she’s Australian as am I. I’ve also got to acknowledge Rinske Douna, Mely D and Sheleeart of Sheleeart for being game changers and bringing their own experimentations and techniques to the ‘pouring table’ :) So grateful to this generous & fun pouring community :)
You have also helped me as well as my art. I lost my husband after a long battle with ALS and my mother. Both passed in my home. I sold it, moved to a lake front property and started fluid art. Has been so good for my soul.
I would like to thankyou for inspiring me,I am full carer for my mum who has dementia.i suffer with depression and crafting is my go to. I watched a video my sister sent of yours and I've not looked back.❤❤❤❤❤❤ huge THANKYOU,
Thank you for your Service Johnny ! The horrors of war !! ....I can not even imagine what you have suffered ! Art is a wonderful therapy ....and you my friend have successfully shared you wonderful pieces with us all ! ❤️
You're a good guy for sharing your story of how you pulled yourself out of some difficult things to now be sharing how to do art with us as a healthy activity. Thank you, and know, you ARE helping others in difficult places also
I like how the comments are usually positive. No negativity here…a good place to be on social media
J Mo, thank you very much for serving in the armed forces. I'm so sorry that it caused bad memories and pain. But if it wasn't for our armed forces, America could be in a pretty dark place right now.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos, too! I wasn't in a bad place when I found them, but I was basically just drifting through life - just retired, nothing to look forward to. Thank the good Lord above for pointing me to J Mo's art on TH-cam!
Thank you for sharing your story! Very inspiring. I fell in love with this art form too earlier this year being stuck at home due to COVID-19. I now share your passion, I mean to the core of my being. Words can’t express. I have found a new part of myself. I’m so glad you’ve found joy after loss and sadness in your life. God is so good to direct new paths for us. Blessings to you!
Absolutely I couldn’t agree more! I am grateful that I discovered this outlet during that part of my life. I am glad that you have found a way to get colors your creativity too! I hope you have a great afternoon today and stay safe and healthy!
Thank you for sharing your story, your art and serving our country. Sorry you went thru such a hard time. I'm happy you found your way out. And yes you do help probably way more than you can even imagine so thank you again. Keep smiling and keep painting. ❤❤
We have a lot in common. I always loved art & was good at it - painting, drawing, etc. i had my son in 2002 & had to put things aside to raise him alone with help from my parents. I lost mom & dad in July of 2019 within 12 days of each other & had a massive breakdown as like you I suffered many moments and of course ptsd as I seen things no one should see. It was finding art in myself again by doing paint pouring that pulled me out of the darkest time in my life and the artists you mentioned and others helped. They need to be recognized for that as well and not just their art & like you, if I can help others I will. I never want anyone to feel what I felt. God bless you ❤️🙏🏻
I am 72 with IPF and have been so depressed these are helping me so much. I am trying your ideas and they bring me peace. Thank you.
after having a stressful and disheartening morning coming home and getting to watch you pour, listen to the background music and hearing you speak, and getting to see such a beautiful piece, calmed, relaxed and brightened my day, thank you so very much
thank you for sharing you story, so glad you found a peaceful place
I am glad you find peace watching my content. It makes me feel good that I can help people relax and find that serenity in this chaotic world. Have a great day Mary-Lou! Saty safe and well :)
As an army Brat I want to say thank you for yr service and I would love to hear more of yr story.. I also have had a dark time in my life and I've turned to paintings as well.. Your work is amazing and I'm greatful to be able to of found yr page and watch yr work and positivity. - Barb Elshaug
Your actions speak louder than your words ever can. Dark times suck, but without them, you never know how truly good times can be. Deployments totally suck. Military raised here. I am glad you are here now.
Please remember that you are one of the others now, the ones that does the saving. You have no idea how many times you have helped me during my anxiety episodes or my worst ptsd nights where sleep is just to scary.
A million thank you's from Jeanette from Norway.
If you ever are going to Norway, let me know, my husband, Kids and I will help with the stay and Who knows, maybe I could my dream Come true making art with you💕
Stay strong and remember how amazing you are!
That is beautiful! I have PTSD myself, was in remission with it. My daughter was shot 2 years ago and set it off again. She survived, but it's been a long road. God bless you!
Thank you Angela, and I appreciate you relating to my story and sharing your own experience with trauma. Pain is a great teacher! I hope you have a great weekend!
@@JMoPainting absolutely! Take care!
I’m so sorry - what a terrible thing to have gone through :( So glad your daughter survived.
Thank for your military service and thank you for your art♥️ I had such a trial of a week, it blew my mind and, nearly, broke my spirit. I always look for your new videos, as soon as I open TH-cam but, tonight, you did more than inspire me, artistically. You touched my heart and reminded me that, though we are challenged, if we push on in faith, we will find the beauty in Life, again. ♥️
And, once again, you've proven yourself to be the Cell Master! Absolutely gorgeous piece. Thank you.
Aww Dina I understand! I am so grateful that I can reach out and touch someone and make aspects of their life better! There is no better feeling in the world! You are strong and you will make it through anything! Just believe you can and cultivate that reality! I am grateful for your love and support thank you so much and have a fantastic weekend!
I get it!! Going through some family issues, lost my daughter, and found this painting art. I have become addicted and probably spent too much money, but I am drawn to this painting. It sure helps!!
Your painting is amazing! I love cells of any size and shape which I have noted a few artists express disdain. I have not seen the video when you spoke of loss and grief. But thanks to prayer and medication I survive in the best life I can. Many years ago my first husband committed suicide. It is the act that keeps on giving. My daughters were 5 and 6. It was a terrible time in my life and my children's life. The sharp edges of pain have smoothed out but it never really goes away. You are a special person. You share your life so generously. It is a source of inspiration to your viewers and supporters. I have just recently started pour painting and already have results I like. Inspiration.means being filled with spirit. A Devine Teacher said " and lo I am with you always". I hesitate but want to say thank you for your service. Your service maintains my right to vote. No small thing. I love you and send a big hug!
This is beautiful! I also want to thank you for your service! It is people like you that make this countnry great!
Thank you Shelley! I really appreciate this, have a great rest of your weekend and stay safe and well!
Your painting turned out to be awesome! I am glad painting has become your salvage. They don't call it art therapy for nothing. Personally I have been helped by pouring so much. I've been laid up with a bad back/sciatica and have not been able to paint for almost 2 weeks but thanks to videos like yours I can live vicariously through all the wonderful artists like you. Keep up the awesome work. Have a great holiday weekend. A request for greens and purples please, my favourites. 💖
Julie from Canada 🍁
Thank you Julie! It absolutely saved me. The path I was on I doubt I would be here without it. I will do one in those colors for you greens and purples :) have a fantastic weekend and feel better Julie!!
@@JMoPainting Thank you very much. 💖🍁
I know I'm not the 1st to say this but you and I have nearly the EXACT same story. The only difference is it wasn't Olga nor Rinske nor Molly nor any of the other most popular pros who got me started over a year ago. It was YOU! Thank you! 💜
You wouldn't BELIEVE how much has changed in my life since and obviously for the better. Soooo much is different now, including the fact that every inch of my wall space has some sort of pour painting by yours truly. I'm getting around to selling and I plan to do so just before I make the literal, physical transition I've awaited for SO, SO long! I'm gonna have to!!!! I can't move with 100s of paintings, all various sizes & shapes & styles! New neighbors would think I'm the koo-koo lady moving next door with a Senior pit bull and 2000 pieces of wall art! 🤣
Blessed Be Johnny.
Your fellow NC gal~yvette in Indian Trail. (but not for much longer!😁)🖤
Thank You for your service, I am a disabled Vet from the army but never saw things you saw. Thank you for keeping us FREE
Painting is good therapy! I started in late 2019 haven't done much lately, but still love watching ya'll ;)
Firstly, I wanna say thank u for ur service. My husband is a vet too. I love this piece. It's very galactic looking. I just started paint pouring a few months ago as well. I always wished I was more artistic but I thought that meant drawing or landscapes. Thank you for sharing a bit of ur story and urself. Keep on keepin' on.😍
Thank you 🙏 artistic is anything you find joy in creating. I really appreciate the love and support. Create your own happiness Maria and I hope you have a great weekend
I had to giggle when you said you got a little obsessed with paint pouring. I laughed because as I sit here looking at a whole bunch of paintings I have done in the past four months. It is very therapeutic I feel. I have CPTSD and it has helped me survive a dark place as well. I can relate so much. There is a purpose for all the suffering we have seen, lived, survived. It's a testimony to others, God bless my friend. I will subscribe today I would love to hear more of your testimony on your healing journey. God bless
I Love Story Time with painting and Johnny 💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
Looks awesome! I salute you J. Thank you for your service. Your art family is always here, ready to listen and not judge. 😊
Thank you Deb that means alot to know I have the support of the community. We are like a tight knit tribe around here and I love it! Have a fantastic weekend, stay safe and healthy!
This and your story moved me more than anything has in a long time!! Thank you very much for sharing your art !! And a part of yourself!! Wonderful
I think art helps a lot of us out. I’ve been in a very dark place, and this is helping. So, thank you.
J Mo, thank you for sharing your past and present. I have such a heart for all military (in any country), especially in war situations and find I can't stop praying for you all. When I hear of another suicide my heartbreak is enormous. I come from Rhodesia and we saw our fair share of atrocities. Your courage in sharing a bit of your story is so appreciated. I have learnt that grief and sorrow and torment have many faces. In my own life of pain my one and only help at all times has been my God. Thank you again and keep on keeping on.
That looks amazing John..a pop of colour next time..maybe red or yellow, but as this one is.i am loving it..thank you also for sharing a piece of your journey of life..you are loving all my favourite artists but I am adding Mina Villegas, Sarah Mack and Gail Burstyn to your list as well as yourself who I watch daily...be kind to yourself and take care..
Thank you Gail, I think red or yellow would would add a nice little pop of color to it and some nice contrast for sure. I have heard of Mina but I haven’t really seen their work. Gail Burstyn I have never heard of so I will have to check them out! Thank you for all the love and support, have a great weekend
Just watched this and I actually shed a tear for you brother, thank you for sharing. So inspired by you, and thank you again for that. Much love!!
Thank you Rory, I have had some crazy ups and downs but they all led me here to where I am now. I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I am grateful to have brothers like you that can understand where I am coming from.
Thank you for sharing. I discovered it a few months ago and it got my 73 year old body out of my depression and out my chair. 🇨🇦
Many vets come home with very dark memories😥 I'm glad you found something to help you 🥰Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. 💞 The outcome of this painting is awesome😍 The cells are fantastic❤
Absolutely love this! I love monochromatic so much. Great job! I’m so thankful you were able to find this art form to help you. I suffer from depression and it can pull you way low down!
Thank you so much Patricia, I agree with you depression is horrible and we all find our own way to deal with it. Have a fantastic weekend
Amazing work , I love watching. I just started paint pouring 2 months ago and I love it as well.
That’s great Sandra! I am glad you are loving the process! Have a great weekend
Thank you for sharing your story. Most importantly, thank you for your service. I have been painting for almost a year after losing my job to the pandemic. I was lost, afraid and uncertain of the future. My husband gave me some acrylic art supplies for Christmas in 2020, and it changed my life. Having a way to express myself, be creative and having such passion for this art style have given me a new purpose. . No masterpieces yet, but lots of color hanging on my walls, lol...Have a blessed day and thank you again.
Man... I don't know what you've seen, but have also served in the military. I was in the U.S. Army during the Iraqi conflict. I suffer from PTSD as does my husband whom served the the U.S. Navy. This art form has truly helped my overall mood and has been a form of therapy. Thank you for all your time and dedication to helping others learn this art.
Absolutely love it!
Thank you for sharing part of your story, and thank you for your service. You are truly an inspiration for others.
Thank you very much Paula! I’m glad that I shared a bit of my story, I’m always a bit wary about doing it but then I thought that everyone has one and it’s what made them who they are today! Stay safe and be well
Wow... Those cells are incredible!
The final piece came out amazing!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate it!!
Wow! I simply love monochromatic and I love cells. I would love to see red, yellow, black and white. These are my traditional colors. Thank you for being here. Blessings.
I salute you sir.
my husband was a Navy seal RIP🌺 I miss him dearly. Art is a passion always has been .i do all sorts of art my husband tim inspired me so much .i thank the Lord for letting us share our time together 17 in half years.
I truly enjoy watching your channel your Absolutely wonderful Artist .🌺
This is so beautiful!! I love it!!
Thank you so much for your service for our country!!
I have concerns right now for my grandson who is now in the Army...doing predeployment training now. It is always a worry for ones in the military !
I am happy for you to find painting that has helped you!
Keep on keeping on!!
Thanks Karen, my thoughts and prayers will be with your grandson when he deploys. Just know sometimes the readjustment of coming home takes a bigger hit than leaving initially. All wounds aren’t visible and he will need a lot of support to reintegrate after the ordeal. Thank you for your love and support and I hope you have a fantastic weekend
Prayers for your grandson Karen, God bless him for serving our country ❤
Thank you for sharing as I was in a similar dark time when I discovered this art form and it has brought me to a whole new beginning. Your art is amazing and glad you are now doing better. Xo
Johnny it turned out beautiful because the paint should lead you, just let it do and go with it. This painting saved my life as well, coming out of a deep black hole, and suicidal tendencies, now I have a great look on life
Thank you so much for your service. Unfortunately war is a hell that can stay with you forever. I am so glad you found an outlet. So many people don't find that or don't even look for an outlet. Your art is amazing and helps so many others as well.
Love this art form-need to see more videos. This came out beautiful, thank you for this video
Thank you Bonnie! It’s a love we all share, have a great weekend!!
I came across your channel, and I was taken back by your story. I've always been in art in some form, but fluid art has become a new passion of mine as well. I so respect, admire, and appreciate you sharing with us. I truly believe that sharing is a privilege. Thank you for your service, and for sharing you and your work with us. Oh, the pour is gorgeous as well lol😁 I'm now a new subbie!🎨👍
Aww thank you Shannon! I’m glad you like it and that we connected! Welcome to our little family over here, I look forward to chatting with you!
I discovered acrylic pouring while recovering from my divorce earlier this year. Been doing this for about four months now & it's such an amazing outlet mentally and emotionally. I found your channel just recently, and just came to this vid today. I had already picked up little hints of your backstory from some other vids, but this one confirmed a few things I had already begun to suspect. For whatever it's worth, I'm a VA social worker, and I've worked with quite a few vets who hadn't found the means to stop the downward spiral. I've how dark that place can be. I find the fact that you've met that challenge and found passion and purpose even more inpiring than your artwork; and your art is amazing. Keep doing what you're doing, brother!
It seems in life when everything is so negative, a positive shines a light, out of nowhere, that we never saw before. That light suddenly changes us, in ways we never knew possible. So very glad you found your light. My husband was a Vietnam Era vet, I know how the darkness takes over.
I watch a lot of the Artist channels and have started dabbling a little. I'm new to your channel. I love this piece.
Thank you soooooo much for serving. I am also glad you for Solace in your art. Stay well my friend. And keep on pouring.
Wow . I started a year ago to Get sick. After lots of hospital testing in october this year i was diagnose ALS and 2 to 5 years left to live. I cant talk no more or eat but my legs and arms are ok. I was going on dépression and i Found you and other acrylic artist. Now i am hooked on pouring because of you 💕
Thank you for Sharing alot IT means alot to me
J Mo I'm also a veteran I'm from Puerto Rico and your paintings were the first I saw I new you were a vet and I am very happy for you and believe that I am very happy with that I gave 2 of my paintings to someone in the VA you know.bless you and good luck
Thank you for your service and sharing! I am trying to get my life together after the loss of the death of my husband of 48 years together. Thank you!!
I paint too and it helps me to heal from the military service. Military life is hard and fast, and painting is the one thing that helps many people who are or have served the military.
Thank you for sharing a part of your story. Yeah, rough times CAN become an open door, if someone shines the light for you....
Fluid Art saved me too. Now I’m in my ‘happy bubble’ 😘🌻
I'm working on 3 years sober from heroin, I really appreciated your story and the vulnerability it takes to share. I feel like humans changed while I was addicted or incarcerated ... But you're a real one! thanks, keep on the grind!.. of paint 😁
You have no idea Sweetheart, what darkness you have yanked me out of, I have been so depressed. I am a watercolor painter and I Love it, but I needed a boost in my Life and your art has given me a new Art Outlet to let my passions flow, what an amazing new passion I have. Thank You!!!!!
I’m so sorry you went through everything did. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for fighting for my freedom ♥️. I am so glad that you found something to save you from what you’ve seen, heard and felt that you can never erase. I myself have PTSD and my days are full of surviving my brain talking at me. Artists like you are drawing me to paint for the first time in my life. A dream of mine. You’re teaching me how to paint doing this technique, and I’m going to start painting really soon to make my days better and more productive. There is way more to life at 62 than hearing what I’ve seen, hard and felt that I can’t ever erase coming back to bite me. Bless you Brother !!! What incredible shapes and cells !!! So cool !!! I’ve got to try this exact one. Whoa 😮💕🤟🏽
As an Army Mom and proud American with vets on both sides, I thank you for your service!! Your art is beautiful. I've only been pouring for a few months now and love the calming enjoyment it brings. I'd be wrong to not make mention of the fact Jesus has brought me out of the darkest of times. As enjoyable as art therapy is, nothing compares to the peace He brings my soul. Add Him to your daily life and you'll be amazed at the higher levels of peace you'll experience! God bless you.
I get it, I’ve painting most of my life but started acrylic pouring 3 years ago. I love painting on a bad pain day for diversion. I’ve had over 130 surgeries, can’t eat, haven’t eaten a meal in 5 years after losing both my large bowel to Ulcerative Colitis then 20 foot of my small bowel to Crohn’s. I’m on a drip for up to 6 hours lying down x 3 times a week. On life support 7 years ago. I’m still here for a reason. Ridiculous regime of drugs. If I can produce something lovely on a bad day, it’s worth it. I had my first exhibition in Tasmania, Australia, in May and sold 18 paintings!!! I’d have been thrilled with 3. I totally get where you’re coming from. Well done you! Love what you’ve produced!
I have a lot of admiration for you!
My x hubby was sent to the falklands and he saw his best friend blown up with a land bomb.
You inspire me so much, I’ve been going through a lot myself, my granddaughter was born with Albinisim and she is 4 years old and Blind.
I am a career for my granddaughter my daughter who has acrophobia ,my mother who is 81 and she has just about lost her sight.
I spent all my savings on buying a shed 8x10 and have made it into my art room where I can just get away and let my feeling go into my painting.
God bless you
I’m 60 xxx
What a lovely thing to hear you acknowledge the people that inspired you ❤️❤️ Can I return the compliment and thank you for the inspiration ❤️❤️
Thank you for opening up on your life. Yes, indeed, pouring has helped many people going through hardness in life. It is very therapeutic and is a way of expressing yourself in a very strange world. Let's put it this way. Go ahead and let us be part of your pouring journey. ;-)
Painting IS good for the soul! Thank you for being an example for all of us.
Thank You for your service. I have a Navy son (now out and a nuclear engineer!!!) and an Army son who has been to Afghanistan (has been a VA cop but leaving in a year to become a building inspector). I am an RN and did psych nursing for 12 years. Bless you that you discovered a creative outlet for yourself and you bless other as well. Thank You for sharing your story.
Ya I am the American way.
Been airbrushing and building models for a long time now.
57 yrs old and Lund this art form.
And now I am hooked. Just did my first pours this week.
This looks so cool.
John I was more captivated by your story than the art that initially grabbed my attention. I am also a paint pour artist & quickly fell in love after watching so many artist. My personal inspiration was ignited by Dirty Artist. Once I began pouring I was pouring on everything from lampshades to toilet seats lol! I thought everything should be paint poured. I would joke with my husband & tell him if I could paint pour my car I certainly would & still would today! I have had a very long life in a very short 40 something years. When I began this art form my goal was to create a uplifting channel that other people struggling in life could come to for a break from their reality. I discovered in 2018 I have lupus & soMe other illnesses that make my day to day a a difficult challenge & find myself in a headspace of what’s the point If this is what I’m looking at going forward. The only thing I find that takes me out of those thoughts are either watching fellow artist like yourself & so so many others create, or creating my own work. No matter how shity I feel every day I can’t wait to go see my work from the day before & how it turned out. It reminds me of a little kid on Christmas Eve so excited & not knowing what I’m going to find waiting for me! I have yet to start a channel & record my work mostly due to being camera shy but I feel regret everyday that I don’t achieve this goal I set for myself. I’m also very technologically intimidated & think I’ll never figure out editing & yada yada. So For the mean time I come to ya’ll who aren’t stopped by those fears. Thank u for caring about helping others & inspiring so many. I’ve seen your channel grow enormously & feel like I’ve been along for some of the ride. The world is experiencing its own pain & suffering everyday & everyone has their issues, I truly send out love, healing & happiness to all those who are feeling misunderstood & lost. We all need Grace In our lives & that something to keep us pushing forward to face tomorrow.
This cosmic effect of art has given me a support to get out my bad patch , as I have also lost my husband , I am alone
This is 3 yrs after you posted your story. I’m sorry you went through all that you have. Truly I am. But I want to tell you that when I found your channel you helped me. Your patience and good heart and very kind voice not to mention your great talent!! Thank you ❤
Thank you for your service and your story. You are the Bob Ross of pour painting and that is a very good thing. #respect
I appreciated your story. After traditional oil colours for years I am now a passionate fluid art advocate. I love the surprises, the unexpected, even the fails are funny !!
We are twins being well with pour art and other POSITIVE movement...the colors grab me everytime. And Life is trippy with many changes know others are healing through simple pleasures of design/writing helps me hold close the lost child that was hidden; even when few really care/respond about what I am doing. Thank you for sharing time. 🎁🔄😊 Your work thrills 💝!
I know what you mean. I hadn't been creative in weaving or any artwork for a few years. When I discovered paint pouring about a year ago, I got really excited. I love paint pouring..
I love this piece. 💕
Before you spun it, it looks like a wild planet. Glad you stopped when you did, it's perfect. Floating planets, very 3D..
I stumbled across this video after watching one of Olga Solbys videos.. been obsessed with her videos since my radiation/chemo sessions this spring.. watched a lot of videos during that time. Thank you for being vulnerable and putting your story out there. After my surgery this week, I am going to jump in on this acrylic pouring journey. Just watching the videos soothe my soul sooooo much.. I can only imagine what actually creating with acrylic pours will do. Once again.. many thanks!! And thank you for your service to our country as well!!
Rainbow pour with chameleon cells would look awesome!
It might just be me, but you put off a Bob Ross kinda vibe. Your videos are so relaxing to watch and I love them!
Thank you for all you do. I’m currently in my dark time and trying to crawl out. Thanks for giving me hope.
You keep thanking other people...
Thank you 🙏❤️
❤️ I appreciate you Kim
oh boy...how painting is such a therapy for me
Looks like map of a community😊
I am going on 70 and have been experiencing a lot of depression since my mom passed 2 years ago. I had ever been without my best friend and pretty much just withdrew from everyone and everything. Then I ran across paint pouring videos since that day I've been engrossed in painting. In 3 months I have painted over 250 paintings, and I just get so much enjoyment from it I can't stop. Thank you and so many other of the You tube paintpourers for your sharing of your knowledge and yourselves.youve brought the sun back to my skies.
Thank you for sharing part of your testimony and your pour paintings. I myself have gone through a divorce in 2006 and have struggled through many heartaches and also health problems due to having cancer in 2010, but thankful to God that He healed me. I have been painting off and on for a few years now and I really like playing around with the pour techniques and also resin art. Thanks again and God bless 😊🎨
First off Thank you for your service!! Thank you for sharing your story, i am glad you found paint pouring to help you because i just love your work. When anyone asks me how they can learn, I ALWAYS send them to your page!!!
Love You Johnny!!
Oh. This is so sweet. Thank you for being so vulnerable. I hope those who inspired you see this. I hope you see this. I've been struggling with addiction and trying to find something I can pour myself into to help drag me from hell. I've been so scared to try anything new when I have spent so much money trying and trying before. But I know my passion is art and maybe like you it will be this!
