A set of four circular, one-inch magnets. They're primarily shades of blue with swirls of silver, green, yellow and shades of purple. They were made using glass cabochons that have been dipped in wet fluid art (a type of abstract painting).
It's always a good feeling when I get to send something I've made to its new home. Yesterday, this set of fluid art magnets began their journey to California! Shout-out to another wonderful customer for shopping small 🤗.

Two freshly bloomed fluid art ornaments in shades of purple and orange on a black pillow/base. The cell activators are black over white, and the ornaments are 4", round, and flat.
Halloween/spooky season-themed fluid art ornaments 👀? Yes, please 🙌!!

I spent yesterday evening testing out a tweaked version of my bloom recipe. It was a bust, but at least I know my poinsettia-inspired, holiday palette looks a'ight 😜.

A square canvas painting; the colors are light and medium shades of green and a hint of yellow over lake blue.
I don't share this painting very often as it's a bit plain compared to some of my others, but because it's #GreenSat I figure what the heck lol. And I do like how it looks a bit like a satellite image of earth from outer space 😁!

It's still Thursday somewhere so I'm posting a quick (if not very late) addition to #ColorADay and #YellowThu 😜. This is Sunflower Sonata🌻; a fluid art bloom painting on 12" canvas 🥰🤗.

A circular fluid art painting on a black background; it has a red background and warm palette with black and white cell activators. The left side of the painting has been "wrecked".
I'm sharing "Mars Marvel" for today's #artchallenges. This is a 10" wrecked fluid art bloom swipe on canvas, and it is currently available in both of my online shops 🤗.

It looks dark (because I recorded and photographed indoors 🙃), but the mica shimmer you see is actually sea foam green, and the background is bright turquoise 🥰!

Trying something new on Bluesky today: #artchallenges 😃! Also, some of my paints here are a little thick, and my air conditioner is on most of the time so I'm really crossing my fingers that this painting dries well 😅🙏.

And that's a wrap! My first solo exhibition, Oscillation, was a success! 🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

Please enjoy a glimpse of what was on the finishing table yesterday 😁. Go figure, the wind picked up so I had to bring them inside before I was able to add another coat of gloss spray 🤧.

A 12x12 fluid art painting displayed on a wooden easel: the colors include reds and oranges, ultramarine blue, turquoise, periwinkle, and gold.

The wet result (before the painting dried).
Circa 2021, "Lovers on the Sun" is probably one of my stranger paintings 😜. Inspired by the song of the same name by David Guetta and New Mexico sunsets, this was back when I was learning blowouts via Molly's Artistry (YouTube). Needless to say, there's a lot going on here 😂.

A Shelee bloom swipe fluid art piece: the base is a darker orange, the main colors are shades of green and yellow with a hint of pink and cream, and the cell activators are gold over a rich dark brown.
I had some small gallery-wrapped canvases to pour over so I decided to use a few as additional testers for my #cactusflower palette. This is one of them and is a little 4x4 number. My swipes were too far apart so I lost most of the cells, but I still think it's cute lol.

Several containers of paint ready to be used for Shelee bloom and bloom swipe fluid art pours. They're stacked on top of my canvas spinner. The larger container in the back is filled with dark orange house paint, the gold and brown cell activators are on the left, and the other colors are shades of white, green, yellow, and pink.

I really do love a freshly wrapped paint spinner lol. It's not perfect, but it'll keep the paint where it's supposed to 😜!
Also, bonus pics of upcoming color palette ideas 😁🙌.

Throwback to one of my first fluid art dips circa 2022: I named it Desert Brush because it reminds me of plants native to my region 😊.
