As I was planning to sketch my cactus garden anyway, I decided to use the sketch for the crusade. I must say that I had some difficulty coming up with names, and they are kinda boring anyway. Maybe next time I will do better.
I don't like wasting paint, so whatever I had left on the palette I used on the left page. The plan was to look for abstract shapes in the mix of colors. But instead of abstract shapes, I ended up with that figure. To me, it looks like a girl with a dog on a swing. OK. The dog looks more like a pig. The thing is I was looking for abstract shapes ...and I ended up somewhere else. Such if life after all, often we do not end up where we thought we would ...
Here are the names: stormy sky, pomegranate juice, saguaro, spring grass. Hmm ... I forgot to write the colors I started with. This must be a senior moment ...

I like the names you gave your colors.
i really ought to do more of that. i always have left-over paint scrapped or dabbed onto a page. looking for forms or figures is so interesting! i like your weird girl. lol
Mona, love your little color guide on the page. Love that you picked out names for the mixes and wrote them down. Interesting challenge you give yourself with the abstract shape - another kind of mad scientist experiment! Thanks for sharing with the team!
Love the dog on a swing. And I think Pomegranate Juice is a great name. Now how did you maker that one again? ;-)
Great colour names, and you have pictures as well. Bonus.
