Description
The second image in the series.Here is the first one artofthemystic.deviantart.com/β¦
A combination of actual painting (decalcomania technique) and photo manipulation.
Acrylic ink and Windex on Saranwrap and Mylar.
Actually, most of the manipulation was done with the medium. Photoshop used only for saturation and minor adjustments.
30"x40" optimal size .

Hi Otto, I really like this one, and I prefer these colours to the first one. Because of the warmer tones, just a mater of taste, I am always drawn to warmer tones.
I like the abstract subject.
Have a great sunday.

WOW the details are certainly worth a full view ... makes me think of a bacterial invasion of plant tissue viewed under a polarising microscope!

You are right. Years ago I had created similar on (overexposed scrap) slides by adding lint, fine feathers, hair etc to colored ink spots on the slide. The overexposed ghost images added additional textures. Quite something when viewed on a large wall screen.
Cheers
Otto

Windex just happened to be handy at the time (I was looking for a fine spray of water, actually - the 'bubbles' then were a bonus, and I photographed the image while still wet and in the manipulative state). Saran Wrap and Mylar I had used before. You can create images with acrylics on it, manipulate it, and, if satisfied with the results, they can be transferred like a 'decal' onto another support like canvas, wood or paper, by using acrylic medium. Attach, let dry thoroughly and then carefully peel away the mylar. If too sticky, a little water helps to loosen the mylar or saran wrap.
Cheers
Otto
