Acrylic on Canvas, 300×350. I fancied seeing what what dropping paint from a height would achieve, with a little bit of swirling around.

The top two panels mirror “Twin Roses #2”, and were painted at the same time – technically making these triplets. The differences being the size of the panels (the top two panels would …
