I was delighted to be asked to participate in the Ranger Designer Challenge by my sweet friend, Dina Wakley. We were sent a box of her goodies and asked to decorate a canvas panel. Here's what I made (heavily influenced by Matisse):

I'm very pleased with how the piece turned out. I feel like it's different than what I've done before and yet still feels like me. What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by!

I just love the texture of her paint. And her blues and the pink and lime are my favorites. This work is so vibrant. I like it mucho.

I can see the Matisse influence in the shapes! And I love the colors you’ve chosen for it. And the textures are really great. Thanks for sharing it.
