Oh, I want YOUR box of crayons ;-)
I can't imagine how you got all this pure saturated color in here.
What in the world were you shooting?
Looks like "light" was your palette knife !!!!

@Dulcie: Hi Dulcie! Thanks so much for your comments. They mean the world to me. I wanted to answer your question about what I'm doing to get these pictures. I almost always use the widest exposure (f2.8), and then when I see something that looks beautiful I change the focus to either too close or too far so that it comes out blurry. It's easy to compose "paintings" like these on the screen on the back of the camera. And then I almost always play around with the processing of light and color using the Microsoft Office Picture Manager that comes with Microsoft Office.....but you could use almost any editing program to get the same thing. Thank you for asking. Thank you for your generous comments. Thank you for the inspiration of your art.
