The practice of painting throughout the "Serenity" series gave me a chance not only to explore different subject matter and techniques,
but it also aided in my mindfulness and meditation practice.
I found myself drawn to abstract painting, which I never attempted before.
This "Fluidity" series is a study of abstract painting, inspired by the reaction of different liquids and colors.
The video was shot on either my camcorder or smart phone by myself.
The music was recorded on Garageband by myself as well, under the pseudonym, "Introvert."
There is a different video / song and painting presented at the end of every month throughout 2017.
