PROCESS

1. A sponge brush was used to paint Artist's Loft Metallic Silver pouring paint across the canvas then the paint was swirled with a brush and small amounts of Gold Glitter added throughout.

2. Artist's Loft Crimson and Metallic White pouring paints were alternately added into a small cup, the cup funneled and paint poured into several heart-shape outlines. The end result is a candy-cane appearance when looking closely.

3. Elayne then stood back and contemplated what should be done next and decided Artist's Loft Turquoise pouring paint needed to be painted around the red heart and Gold Glitter sprinkled before the paint dried.

4. Large circles of turquoise and white were sponged around the hearts with gold glitter sprinkled on them.

5. Smaller red-white mixture circles were also added but not sprinkled. The crimson was kept free of glitter so it stood out.

6. A small white circle was added in the center of the red heart and a slightly larger red-white circle was added above the indentation of the blue heart for balance.

7. After Elayne studied the finished canvas, she decided to name it "Meditation on Two Hearts." Bhagawan Nityananda, a Self-realized sadguru always in bliss, said there were two hearts.

8. It was finished with two coatings of Krylon Crystal Clear and named and dated on the back.
