I had a canvas on which I had started painting, then abandoned, as it wasn't turning out the way I had wanted. I set it aside for almost a year. Most of us probably have some of those. The other day, I decided to pick it up and use my oil pastels on it. I love how it turned out!

Abstract Canvas ~ Create Color
I hope you are having a colorful, creative day! I've been sorting through the studio and came upon a few canvases that were unfinished. If I have leftover paint after a session, I will often brush it onto a canvas, so as not to waste it. It's nice to have a little color there already.
