This is partially mixed oil-based paint. Just some vanilla monochrome off-white paint in an old 1-gallon can. When I opened it, I saw that the paint sank to the bottom, and there was a layer of oil above it. When I started mixing it with a stick for some paint job I needed to do, I saw these amazing patterns forming, so I stopped and took a few close-up photos right inside the can. Surprisingly, with some color temperature tweaking and saturation boost, a lot of different colors popped up.
ETA: Back in 2006 I entered another one from the same series into "Abstract II" challenge, AND IT ALSO CAME IN 4TH! (from 325 entries, those were different times...). What the hell is going on here?! ))
