#InkTober day 18 ~ Underwater Abstract

7x7 alcohol inks on foamcore, a cool color blues and greens abstract that mimics underwater vegetation such as seaweed and water in motion.  This is for day 18 of #InkTober which lasts all of October.  Started in 2009 by artist Jake Parker, it is a fun challenge to create one work in ink per day then post on social media.  I've used various forms of inks and this one has seaweed floating upwards, made by blowing air thru a drinking straw quickly as the inks dry very fast.
