This year, instead of giving us three specific colors, Kristin is giving us two basic colors and we are supposed to choose our own shades of those.

For Week 1, we are supposed to choose two shades of blue and one shade of green.  I always end up with many more shades because when I overlap colors they create more tints and shades. In this image, I combined two of my great loves ---art and quotations.

If you post your images to a blog or to Flickr I can see them. (If you posted to Facebook, sorry, but I don't have a Facebook account, nor do I want one.)

"The Function of the Artist 2"

I have always loved blue and green together.  They seem to be a perfect combination, like the green leaves of summer against a blue sky.

To the right are the three basic colors I chose for this week.
