The loveliness of Quink

Isn't Parker's Quink ink just lovely when you water the lines?

I was reminded of this when someone posted a pen and wash on fb today.

This is black Quink.  It separates into a gorgeous array of blues and browns when it gets next to water.

Feeling a little abstracted today.

I don't think I've posted this one yet..
abstract painting using acrylic inks on canvas, 50cm x 40cm (20" x 16")

It's called "Universe Explained - Schematic"

I hope that's clear, then.

Picture this...
