Hello my Beautiful People! Welcome back to the Goddess Series!
The Goddess we are honoring tonight is Amphitrite, the Goddess of the Sea. She was the wife of Poseidon and revered by sailors and sea faring people for the protection she offered them. She was known to calm the turbulent ocean with a wave of her hand, and is thought to be the mother of all sea creatures. I hope you enjoy her story.. lets get started!
I am using a 24x30 inch gallery wrapped canvas from Artists Loft.
I am using my Makita Cordless Mini Leafblower to blow out my paints. I prefer my mini leafblower for three reasons:
1. Its Cordless! So I wont be dragging the cord thru my artwork.
2. The Progressive Trigger allows me to control how hard or softly the air blows.
3. It only blows cool air. I have yet to find a blowdryer that has all of those features.
I am doing a Chaos BlowOut Pour tonight. I love these, they are so much fun!

I have added a lot of water to my paints tonight to thin them enough to blow them out. I mixed my pouring medium as usual, then added paints and floetrol, and then I added enough water to get all of them the same in consistency. I have kept a few a smidge thicker than the rest for a good reason. I don't want them to take over and thicker paint is less likely to spread everywhere and take over. I kept the bright aqua green and the 24K gold thicker for that reason, and the TLP Mint Chip I kept thicker because it can be a bit transparent and I really wanted the color to come thru.
I love the base coat color, that pretty Seafoam green color, and I think its a perfect backdrop for the darker Prussian blue, and the Mysterious and Greenish Blue. We need that pearly white and gold and Mint Chip to give us contrast against the darker colors and really give us that POP.
I love the way this piece came out! Its calming and ethereal and has so much passion and movement at the same time. I hope I have honored Amphitrite with this piece.
