This one reminds me of being in Japan when the Cherry Blossom is out, and the night sky glows with red across the background of the mountains and volcano. I use two different fluid art techniques and the result is stunning. The contrast with both techniques really helps with he flow of this piece into a gentle, calm and peaceful ambience. This one is part of my small canvas series and I hope you enjoy this one along with the color palette.
