Our current challenge is: Pour, Pool, and Puddle. So far, I've liked working and experimenting with acrylic paint and water which requires me to either pour it or use my brush to add have heavy pools of color. For the challenge I took on my own point of view of what happens after we die. The idea is simply that we cease to exist. I do not believe in heaven, hell, judgement, reincarnation, or any sort of afterlife. I purely believe that at one point we are alive and at some point something causes us to stop functioning. That's it. I'm currently exploring that idea through the process through which a body is prepared for a funeral service. One of these first steps is the embalming process. I include in this post some images for reference and some links to websites and a video that aided me.
