Yesterday I was mixing acrylic inks for a watercolor demonstration and was cleaning my brushes on a scrap piece of watercolor paper. I began to see a painting in the abstract shapes and went on to develop it into this...what I call "The Wayward Thistle" because I feel it resembles a thistle plant. I love working with acrylic inks - they are so beautifully intense and are wonderful for pouring, which I will be doing in the demonstration. Because they are permanent once they are dry, you can paint over the color areas and don't have to worry about the paint lifting.

I really love the look of this one - sometimes something special happens in watercolor/inks and you just have to see it and work with it - which you did here :)
I appreciate your comment - something special did happen - very spontaneously - really out of my comfort zone!
