30 x 43in (76 x  x 104cm) - oil on canvas - done in 2008

 

Pour and flow paintings evolved over many years from florals to landscape to more abstract expression. Lopez was moved by the impressions he created but stymied by the limitations of the canvas' flat surface. He discovered a new way of working with the pour and flow technique while on a trip to Santa Fe, N.M., where he happened upon the work of an artist who taught him to manipulate the canvas in unexpected ways. He spent the next few months learning the method of lifting, folding and waving the canvas, applying layer upon layer of color, to perfect his visions with dizzying results. Pour and flow is a method of painting in which paint is poured onto the canvas and gravity helps create images without the use of a single paintbrush.

His present pour and flow work was influenced by Paul Jenkins, a master pour and flow painter living in Paris, France. 

Ryan says "I choose the title of each piece at the end of creation or the name unfolds during the process of creation. Generally, I choose not to title what I see in my own mind. I prefer to choose an adjective or verb which exemplifies the energy of the piece. That way I do not identify the piece as I see it but rather leave it up to the observer to make that decision. I have always liked the look of watercolor and now I have been able to create that look on canvas. In 2008 I moved to South East Asia to pursue more (oriental design) in creation. Pieces like Butterfly and Oriental Garden were the beginnings of experimental paintings of an oriental theme".

However my love of nature and art, began and evolved from the beauty of the Mexico and South West deserts of America. "My work tends to mimic nature," he said. Jenkin's work is more abstract than mine, and I enjoy mimicking nature. Lopez rediscovered his passion for creating when he began experimenting with the pour and flow technique in the late 1990’s.

Working without thinking, in something of a trance-like state of being completely "present" in the moment, Lopez has created a body of work filled with ethereal images that, with few exceptions, seem to depict some of nature's most breathtaking scenes. With paintings bearing titles such as "Windstorm," "Slickrock" and "Fire and Ice," Lopez occasionally begins with an idea of what he wants to create. The unpredictable nature of paint pulled by gravity, however, often results in an entirely unexpected image. It is not uncommon for a single painting to be finished only after more than 20 layers of paint have been applied. With a drying period between applications, the pieces often take days from start to finish. "The canvas speaks back to me when I'm working," Lopez said. "The images depend on tood. The process of creating is where the passion is." This is for all the marbles; this time it's for passion," Lopez said. "I want to release myself from this tension and go into the freedom of pure creativity. I don't want to wait. I want to do it while I'm young."

Moisture and good price in one place
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
This was a household must have for my partner who used nothing but the Helen coco butter hand creams. Oh yes, I had to use some occasionally as well. It is soft on the skin, has a long lasting moisture, he would use it right after washing his hands to get that softness locked in. There is no strong scent so is perfect for people who wants a good hand cream but not that loud scent. I used it all over my body for a all day moisture and shine. I used it in places that don't see the sun often but still needs much love and kindness too. The fun this about this product is they have various sizes so we have one in the car, one in my hand bag and they have the family size that the kids can use. I recommend that you stock up on these.

Queen Helene Makes Another Winner!
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
Wow!!! I’ve used Queen Helene’s Mint Julep for years and it works wonderfully so I thought I’d give the Almond Massage Cream a whirl. The scent is yummy, I just love almond... give me a spoon I just want to eat it since it smells so good! The texture is really thick until you place it on your face/skin and it literally melts like true coconut oil. This is exactly what I was looking for — an ideal cold cream/make-up remover. For the reviewers/people who answered questions about “not using it on your face”. Please just enlarge the back of the tub and it states that you can. Here’s what it says: This luxurious massage cream soothes and moisturizes with the delightful scent of almonds. Use as a massage cream for the face, neck and body. I personally pair it with Aloe/Kleenex to apply to my face to remove my make-up in the evening. It emulsifies any last drop of mascara on your lashes or debris. Then I lather my face with a mild facial cleanser like Neutrogena. Lastly to remove any residual, I gently wipe my face with a warm/hot washcloth, this leaves my skin dewy soft! I love this product! This tub will go for miles. Also, I use a bit in my hair as well, just like coconut oil creating softness and shine. Excellent product all around, in my opinion!!!

Works great
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz., Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
It feels and smells great on the skin. I use it every night for my facial massage. It can be hard to wash off if you apply too much, but it can be washed off with a facial cleanser. I always wipe it off first and then wash my face with cleanser. I love it so far. It's a huge bottle, so it will last a long time. Great value for the price.

Almond massage cream
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
I’m using this product more than four years. But I noticed for the past year that it started to be less sliding… also I noticed separation of oil and cream…did they changed some formula? Still continue to buy this. Love the smell
