Recently I spent a happy evening on my little own making inblot paintings. I had a notion that I would make a bunch of really good ones and take them to the shop I had work in last year and see if they would like to take them and sell them for me.
I had a little inblot factory set up on my coffee table ~ inevitably, because of the nature of how they are produced, some inkblots are flipping ugly and can’t be used.
As you can see the two on the left in the above photo were definite keepers. Since I really enjoy drawing ladies with big dresses next to moon, stars and trees, I stuck with that.
The usual apologies for shoddy photography. I have got lazy because my phone photographs are the right size which saves a lot of the resizing that images from my camera require. These days I tend to use the camera only for photographing large canvas paintings. And let’s face it, even then the images are often a little iffy. Ah well. {You can see this greatly bothers me.}
Despite my grand ideas, I still only have two completed and framed up. I guess the rest will come in their own sweet time.
Or not.
PS. This is not the post I intended to publish, but the other one isn’t ready yet so this is a little interlude before the new painting reveal. 
how FUN!! i love the middle ink blots… yeah, the greenish yellow ones. i’ve never done this much, but it’s a great idea to have them all lined up like that & do more than one. I’ve never worked much with ink, actually, but i LOVE the results i see, so i should really put out a few bucks & buy myself some damn ink.
So happy to know you’re at a good place. Thank you for the lovely comments you leave on my blog.
Funny you think i’m funny, cause i always laugh at your posts too!! (in a GOOD way!) We keep each other company. Just like chimps at the zoo. Take care, girlfriend. xoxo
JUST like chimps at the zoo! lol.
You don’t have to use ink; you can use acrylics, although watering them down a bit is probably better. (Fluid acrylic works ok, but I’d be inclined to even water that down slightly for better blending and ease of drawing on top.) At least you already have those so if it doesn’t work for you you haven’t invested in inks you don’t use.

those are really good, just the sponeteity of the mork…hmm not sure how to spell that but you get my drift? hope this week is better.
