pouring colours

This started when I opened Photoshop Elements and found a single beige and brown strip on the clipboard. I then added another nine and treated each one to a different 'color gradient'. After that I played about with several different effects. This one used 'paint daubs with sparkle' and then 'distort/liquify'. At that point I saved itin the form seen a couple of images to the right. I then turned that image through 90 degrees and stretched it to fit the portrait format once more.
