This painting was done on a 5″x5″ canvas. It started out as a pour painting, but the blue paint took over the painting. After it dried, for about a week, put a mandala on top of the fluid painting using metallic acrylic paint.

Very interesting combination of techniques! The result is very nice.
I did not want to fill the empty spaces because I wanted the background to show through.
Yes very good idea. I think combining the two styles worked very well without losing the beauty of any.
