Easter egg hunt

Painting by Vicky Christensen, acrylic on 14 x 18 inch canvas 
Today's painting started out with scribbles of high flow acrylics on a damp canvas. On subsequent layers I glazed fluid acrylics into the ovals, making my color choices based on the colors in the underpainting. I ended up liking the unpainted areas but it didn't seem right to leave it that way so I went with a translucent glaze of white with a slight hint of manganese blue that I painted around and between the colorful ovals.
