I like several of these, the color mixtures work well together. Are there stories/meanings behind any of these? Are they more of a freedom of artistic expression kinda thing? I know you said in one post that they bring you back to thoughts on certain drugs, but do any of them have a deeper meaning than that?

No real meaning behind anything here. Maybe in the future. That one green one provokes thoughts of LSD but that's about it. Others remind me of elements like waves and lava. The colours can remind me of foods like watermelon and bubblegum. And sometimes they look like the surface of planets. Oh and some remind me of toothpaste. :)

Totally. Here's what I got today. I need a few more colours and some floetrol. (I ran out of everything at the same time)

Tried out my new paints today. I used Purple, Green, Blue and White on both of them and they came out completely different. These ones turned out I guess. Like a light camouflage and a very bright purple. Think I'll invest in more expensive paints next time. I want to create art which is aesthetically pleasing from now on and not just for myself. Experimenting was fun but I think making art that catch peoples eyes will be more worthwhile. Although I might not change anything and just paint like crazy who knows. Procrastination.

Thanks! It takes me about an hour before I say to myself that I like them. Not sure why.

edit: Also the camera I use to take the pictures is always so bad. But I'm not getting a new phone anytime soon so ohwell.

I love the color purple so the top one I love, I also liked how you mixed the colors on the second one, they really swirled together.

It reminds me of the ocean and it's calmness. My favorite color is sky blue right now, but the ocean I love the colors as well.
