CathArtistry Welcome to my page for CathArtistry, fluid art in So Califonina by Cathy Nordlund. Email for inquiries. Thank you for stopping by!

I hope to have more info and paintings for you very soon! O' to create that which inspires us! Every painting is an adventure, a journey into the realms of self expression that perhaps were unknown to us before. We surprise ourselves and others through the creations which come to life at our fingertips. Thus is the joy I find in art, drawing and painting. I entered into the world of acrylic fluid

art after years of painting off and on. I often found myself wanting and trying to find my true 'style' of art. Fluid art is free flowing and somewhat uncontrollable. I find it's freedom of movement liberating in that I cannot control the outcome, but instead can only coax the flow of the paint and colors and follow where it takes me. I felt fluid art would open me up and allow me to go with the flow, rather than my tendancy to focus on details and attempt perfection. I am loving this journey into a new form of expression, and invite you to enjoy and do the same; whether in creating for yourself, or just in appreciating all that art can be to each one of us. Enjoy your journey, where ever it takes you.

’Surf’s up’. 6X6” canvas. After looking at the small straight pour canvas I poured 2 years ago, I saw what looked like ocean waves in it. I felt it needed a tiny surfer to set it off. So here he is.

(92) Sunset over Waves! 10X10 inch canvas. FLUID ART, ACRYLIC POURING
Several different techniques were tried in this pour. All failed. I finally added bright neon colors and tilted it out. A pretty sunset appeared. Dutch pour waves were added after giving the sunset area 20 minutes to set. Details were hand painted in, and it turned out well. I invite you to watch the creation video here: https://youtu.be/v4xyDiO2ZXc

(91) CLOWN FISH & DIVING ORCA FROM 2 FLIP CUPS! 8X8 inch canvases. FLUID ART, ACRYLIC POURING
Having a pleasing result from these flip cups was satisfying, but each one wanted to be something more. I loved painting the Clown fish and the Orca. The flip cup designs lent themselves so well to the handprinted embellishment. I hope they make you smile. Here is the creation video for your viewing pleasure: https://youtu.be/VLmSMrf83lU

(89) DOLPHINS AT SUNSET! 1’X3’ canvas.
This mural-like painting started out as something entirely different. As often happens with fluid art, my first idea did not pan out at all. It so often seems that the painting wants to be something else, so it’s good to go with the flow and see what happens! It took me awhile, due to the size of the canvas, but was fun to do. I’m pleased with the final result. I hope you are too! Thank you so much for being here and sharing your time with me. Here is the creation video, if you’re interested in watching:https://youtu.be/de9AinWP_2I

(84) 3 Blown Out Lightning bolts! 12X30 inch canvas
A different type of Dutch pour technique: Using 3 smaller ‘bloom’ points of interest and light, blowing out in a lenthwise fashion on a two colored base. Despite the challenging length of the canvas, this blow out turned out as I hoped it would. Whew! Sit back and enjoy it’s creation: https://youtu.be/NeQKH8YyY4I
