Mixed Media Monday!

I have a hard time with browns.

I always have to add a contrast color, otherwise it seems drab.

DMG said...: I'm with you, girl! But the accent color totally saved this piece. I've always liked the combination of brown and red, and it't a perfect color scheme for this precious dour little miss.; December 28, 2009 at 3:00 AM

Faye said...: You are so right, Peggy. I wish I had chosen brown. Instead I went with greenish brown or brownish green. The little sweetie in your piece is adorable.; December 28, 2009 at 8:46 AM
