Not much to say about today's painting. As I started the painting the colors in the upper left hand corner of the painting reminded me of a volcano erupting so I tried to create the look of lava flowing throughout the rest of the painting.

I like the top left corner of this painting but hate the whole right side. Since this blog is about 365 days of ACEOs the paintings have to be 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. If I didn't have those size restrictions I think I would have cropped it to look like this:
