20×16-inch on stretched canvas
Thermochromatic Lumen — an experiment in temperature, light, and shimmer. I used mood‑ring paint on the wings and eyes so they read black at lower room temperatures and then cycle through red → orange → yellow → green → blue → indigo as they warm. The body is layered with chameleon mica powder for a shifting, iridescent effect, set against a soft gradient background and anchored by an acrylic pour wave below.
This piece continues my recurring dragonfly motif — a small, steady symbol that takes me back to afternoons with my little sister and now quietly represents my father, who passed last year. The dragonfly’s changing colors feel like a private, living memory: subtle, surprising, and always moving.
Materials: mood‑ring paint; chameleon mica powder; acrylics; pour technique. If the wings look black where you are, touch the piece, move it to a warmer spot, or let a bit of sunlight hit it — watch the colors wake up.
