What a great colour combination - some favourite greens with a touch of mustard!
Add in Payne's grey and then in my head, there was a forest.... trees, grasses, plants
After the first day blending some water colours, and matching my threads. I wasn't exactly sure I might do over the next week - some leaf studies? some collages based on the bush? ....
Luckily, I have a great stash of unfinished projects. A piece of abandoned canvas with splotches of green seemed to jump out of the drawer to be used. And then there was the piece of calico which had blank ink marks - Once it was torn into strips, brightened up with a bit of water colour, the small strips, ended up making perfect tree trunks,
