This looks like it could be referred to as a Galactic entrance to a wormhole in outer space! Very vivid colors and a texture that is very hot 🥵 looking on the surface of the canvas. Amazing beauty and an intense atmospheric effect to say the least. It’s an amazing piece of art and a great joy to witness being crafted!

Love the contrast of the rounder center edges and the whispy outer edges. It really looks like the expanding fuel into the center and the release of power of the flames outwards. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I really love so much your videos. You really stimulate to work for a nice pouring with your gentleness. And for sure good advices and fantastic ideas. Thank you so much.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much 😀

[@caobita]

Mark, this piece is HOT!!!! The end result is absolutely gorgeous. I was already excited when I saw the colours in your thumbnail because fire colours are very exciting to me. While you were blowing out, during the whole time I had that old song in my head, hearing Johnny cash sing: "I fell into a burning ring of fire. I went down, down, down and the flames went higher, and it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire......". You did a stunning job and I had so much fun watching you create. Wonderful!!! 🖒💖

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Yay! Thank you Michaela- it’s been a lot of fun and I’m happy you like it

Thank you! It helps to see how much paint is needed to be beat. Fire looks 3D. Very interesting how center is compact and ends feather out.

[@davidwhittworth1841]

This is excellent Mark, and that spot of yellow, all on its own before you started to blow out - what a great result it added! Thank you for sharing your drying technique as well. A recent problem that I have found is that the surface I leave my paintings to dry on isn't very level, so I've taken to using long screws, one on the underside of each corner and one of those little spirit levels, similar to the ones used when levelling caravans. Then if one corner needs adjustment, just screw a screw in a little etc. Then I start to paint; the screws also come in handy to hold the canvas while I tilt n turn. You've inspired me to do all of this, my results have been far from perfect but I'm having fun practising, and fun is what it's all about! So thank you very much for sharing and giving me and my hubby something extra to do on weekends.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Wow that’s amazing!! That makes this all worth it knowing I’ve helped others. Hope you continue to enjoy your fluid art journey x

[@lauren9667]

I’m an armchair artist - I’ve been watching many different creators and while they are all wonderful, your work is my favorite. You use unique items (embroidery hoop, egg crates, etc) and while you may have an idea for how you want something to look, if the paint takes you in another direction, you go with the flow (pardon the pun). This makes your art work feel more natural and personal. Your ring of fire is stunning and I’m happy it worked like you envisioned.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks so much 😊 wow I’m smiling here what a lovely thing to say 🤩

[@jeaninewright1936]

Oops sorry don’t know who Johnny Cash is?! But thank you!! It’s not an easy technique so keep going. Took me ages to learn it and I learn each time 🤩
