Just a few Zetti Arches I've been working on! it's such fun playing with color, shape and pattern :D

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the good wishes on my neck/shoulder injury! The Color Journal project is back :D

This week we are going to look at Green, Orange and Hot Pink!

A few days ago we went to a local pumpkin farm. If you have one nearby, I recommend going because it's so much fun to see the kids running around feeding animals, posing with the pumpkin vignettes, and gorging themselves on doughnuts and cider :D (I admit I did all three myself!)

Above is a 4x4 of a happy pumpkin goddess/spirit harvesting the bounty of the season! You can interpret Green, Orange and Hot Pink in other ways, though I might play with it some more in a Halloween theme and post is later this week.

Happy arting!

I'll be posting later today with a Color Journaling post, but in the meantime, here is the latest issues of Art Trader Magazine!
