High flow high jinks

Painting by Vicky Christensen, acrylic on 16 X 20 inch canvas 

I started this painting last week, then took a little break for a road trip to New Orleans for my niece's wedding. We had a blast. They celebrated with several touches of the local culture and cuisine, including a second line parade from the ceremony to the reception. This was my first trip to New Orleans and it ended way too soon.

So I got back home at lunch time, took care of some business, then finished this painting. This was going to be big blossoms developed with high flow acrylics and spritzes of water, but blossoms didn't appear. Instead I ended up with some colorful creatures floating in a shallow stream.
