Extension

 Start with an item of interest in a painting or an existing photo and then extend your picture out from the center. I used an interesting sketch of a lone pine tree in the center and then created a framework of evergreens, lake and sky. I like this one.

Half n half

 Combine two things today to make a new creation. Rebecca and I had been making mono-prints. When we were finished I scraped the center of what she had left on the glass and came up with this gate composition.

Book Jacket

 
 Create a new book cover for a favorite book today. I choose this photo of reeds along the MKT trail for a book on the history of the Missouri river and its beauty.

Brain

 Today I am to use an internal organ as inspiration. These photos I took of lichen remind me of a picture of the brain - especially the heat-map, color enhanced version.

Loud

 
 Make something "loud" today. Can be in loud color, pattern or shape. This is another paint scrapings creation - looks like an ugly bug.

Rainbow


 From items on your work table, create an unusual rainbow. I used paint tubes that were lined up in rainbow order for this one.

Bleach

 Work with bleach to make something by taking away color. This was fun, and I was careful to not get any bleach on my clothes! I used a dark blue paper and plain old bleach to create this little dancer.
