Water Water Everywhere!

I often paint over paintings.   
Thrift store paintings, garage sale paintings.
My paintings.

I was not pleased with one of mine, so I started painting over it and the two paints I was using did some rather fun and interesting things together.

It reminded me of the ancient Japanese woodblock prints of ocean waves.

I did not finish this one as the paint reactions got me too excited to go and "try" to see if I could get that effect I wanted!

The paint did not do what I wanted it to do.   It was pretty adamant about what it wanted to do.
Danged it the paint was right and I was wrong - cause this came out just the way it did.
It reminds me of the view if you were in a boat at the bottom of a BIG swell of water in a story ocean.

This one did not behave according to my whims - but I still like it.

I have a limited supply of that wonderful dark blue house paint that I have been using for this technique - so I will continue on until the gallon is gone.
* FYI *
Since I use a lot of found/leftover/freebie house paint, I have found that the expensive brands of paint are really and truly better paint.
Behr - Lauren - Divine - etc
Just in case you decide to go and make art with house paint.....
