teal scales abstract painting 4x4

Green and blue are my favorite colors, so I like to play with different shades of teal. This pattern is inspired by reptile scales, and the painting has a wide range of different types of teals, blues, and greens in it. It also contains some pumice stone grains for texture, mica flakes, and interference colors (blue and green) in some parts. A fun little piece.

Made as a part of the painting+print a day series.
