The Splatter

Today in my class I was demonstrating several representational rural scenes that featured the technique of splatter and I told them that I would post several pieces I finished a few years back in my “Creation Series.”  Here goes I hope you get what I was doing which was trying to express the explosions of energy in the early years of planet earth.
