Community Squeegee Art + Handprints ✋ Abstract Acrylic Painting

Описание: Today is a very special creation and it's inspired by the coming together of a community. I was invited to join a Mind, Body and Spirit Fair to sell some of my artwork PLUS I wanted to design a community piece that could be donated to Walkden Town Centre. I was invited by a brilliant family run business called Clouds (check them out online; I will list their socials below). The background is blended, I used acrylic paint and a squeegee to create the community in the middle and then I wanted to ask people from the community to donate their handprints to go around the edge. It was such a fun evening so I hope you enjoy this one.
