Who is up for another color challenge? I wasn't planning for this to be a color challenge, like last week's use neutrals color challenge, but when I got to the end of the piece three colors really jumped out for me. They are ones that I don't usually, purposely use together, more accidentally, like in this project, but I thought they would…

I am trying to recharge and refresh some old canvases and this week I thought I would 'save' this mini canvas with a simple mixed media flower. It is very abstract but fun to do.

At least for today's art video it is and it continues on from last week's art video where I was using the same technique to work through my 'new layer' blocks.
