Rainbow Whirl

36″ x 48″ x 3/4″

I got inspired to try this swirl technique by a video that I found online of someone making flowers.  I grabbed my biggest canvas at the time and began to “swirl” using Acrylic paints and Foam Spouncers.  It was mesmerizing!  At first it was just pinks and whites until I began to swirl yellows, greens and blues.  I thought that it was complete until I kept “accidentally” knocking over my uncovered container of buttons.  The first time I laughed, the second time I was amazed that it actually happened again, but the third time was an “ah- ha” moment and I realized what I was meant to do.  I couldn’t deny that they had to be added, even though I knew how much time (and buttons:) it would take!  All paint and buttons wrap around the canvas.
