Progress ...

 
...has been made on an artwork-in-process --


Above is an earlier stage of an artwork on 12"x12" stretched canvas.  Its base was a layer of metallic gold gesso.  Next came layer-after-layer pours of Golden High Flow acrylics, allowed to settle at will under stencils:

4"x4" Palm Fronds Silhouette Mini 

6"x6" Palm Fronds Silhouette Small

9"x12" Prayer Flags

After turning the piece several times, I settled on this as my favorite final look.  I blocked out chosen areas with matte red opaque acrylic paint.
