My Fluid Art Paintings + Contest!

I've been doing a bit of dabbling in my spare time and thought I'd share some of my latest Fluid Art/Abstracts with you. The process of painting and creating unique works of art is always challenging but also stimulating but what I find most difficult, is coming up with a suitable title for my art, so I am asking for help.

My last fluid art painting is nameless, because a suitable title eludes me. So, I am offering 5 STEEM for the best title so that I can make it a sale-able item in my website. This will be sent after the 7 day payout period.

I am entering this post into the #sam-saturday 'Something About Me' challenge organized by my friend @bluemoon

I never know quite what I am going to produce when working with pouring paint because as you can imagine, many things come into play. Such as gravity, the consistency of the paint, the level of humidity in the air and how much I tilt the canvas in order to achieve the desired result.

Some paintings turn out nothing like what I originally intended. Like this one below. This was an accident. I accidentally used a base coat which had silicone in it which caused the paint to separate. I was really disappointed to see the fissures appear as the paint dried.

But then John came along and raved over it saying that it was "One of his favourites." I took another look and could see what he saw. A rich blend of colour with accentuated textures which actually gave it a very artistic and contemporary finish.

I have called this art, "Drifting Apart."

This piece was much less of a problem to come up with a title because the blob in the center reminded me of a brain. So I called this, "Mind over Matter." I like how the colours merge into separate cells.

In fact, I like it so much I wondered how it would look in different colours so I changed them from the original painting above and turned the picture up the other way.....just for fun!

This painting reminded me of a waterfall rushing down from an unseen source above so I called it, "Aqua Falls."

The movement of the paint flows in one main direction with this creation so I called it, "Going With The Flow."

But this one below was more of challenge. Perhaps you can come up with something more imaginative than what I can and I'd really appreciate seeing your suggestions.

THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Your paintings are extremely colorful and decorative. I like the last one, which does not yet have a name.
A recent accident has shaken me a lot, I can not find a name for your painting.
In the absence of inspiration, I would do this as: MFPWN "my first painting without name"

Thanks for participating in SAM.

Howdy Trudee! Those are great looking paintings Trudee, I really like the top one the most but the others are great except the bottom one isn't as nice as the others in my eyes for some reason but I don't know why. lol. And I have no idea what it should be called.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these acrylic paintings John. They take on new dimensions when placed in suitable frames, especially when there is open space around them.

The first words that pop up when I saw the last picture are " Inner Me".
Then I see many many eyes in the picture, feels like many eyes eyeing on me... 😂😂😂
"Eyes on Me"

Hi Eliza.....that's a great start to this contest. Love your suggestions but you have made me very curious to know more about you because those are strong vibrant colours.....which by my reckoning, make you a strong vibrant person. I like that.

I took another look, and sure enough, found "Eyes on Me.' Thanks so much for participating my friend. Good Luck!

All of your art is lovely! I especially like the "Aqua Fall" piece! 💙

Regarding your last painting, sans title, I first perceived an underwater scene deep in the ocean, perhaps a reef... so, I make the following suggestions:

"Within the Reef"
"Undersea Hideaway"
"Saltwater Magic"
"Where the Fishes Play"

Or, it could easily be a view from an electron microscope, looking deep into the inner-workings of the brain or some other part of the body, writhing, evolving, living... so, my last suggestion is:

"Synapses"

Whatever its future title, "Bravo!" Great job, and thanks for letting us be a part of the fun! 😊

I saw a bird on the right and a forest around it, a clearing and the sky. This is the "Magic Forest".

I don't know if mine is the best it is just my interperation of your painting and I see an eye by the dragon I find quite interesting.

So maybe "eye of the dragon". :) here is a screenshot of the eye
