I used the Pulled Color Technique from the August Technique Junkie Newsletter for the background, morphing the technique a bit to create interest. My texture comes into play with the added Paints and Gesso used to create the background. The images from the Artistic Outpost plates: Think and Wonder, Quote and Quotables, Flower Market and Secretary Pool.
