Description
This piece is the result of the serendipitous process of acrylic pours. Particularly important is selection of color and placement although the end result is only somewhat predictable. Here I was experimenting with a new process adapted from what has been labeled the chameleon cell technique in the world of acrylic pours. I find the name delightfully appropriate not only for the chameleon-like scales that the process is named for, but for the change in color and behavior! 'Chameleon Flow' is definitely more about the formal elements of color, line, shape and pattern than subject!

Beautiful flow and energy in this delightful painting, Zan! The technique sounds like a lot of fun...the textures are wonderful!
Zan Savage replied:
Oh it is!! As an intuitive painter, I bet you would thoroughly enjoy seeing just what shows up and nudging it along ;-)) Thank you Laurie!

Laurel, again I am grateful for you and your lovely words of support. I have thoroughly enjoyed reflecting on the stimulating subjects you have put forth in the discussion pages in accompaniment to your wonderful WTB series of contests! Not only are the images submitted a joy to peruse but it is particularly fun for me to read and connect to those who have joined the discussion - it is a delight to find like souls in this life as an artist ;-)) I will continue to encourage others with that thirst to connect and examine their journey in the arts to check out your “WHAT’s the BUZzz (WTB) SERIES“ of contests and the behind the scenes discussions - thought provoking and worth the perusal! May they forever be accessible!

Thank you for consistently supporting this contest. Your students are SOOooo fortunate! Love your work
