The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #16 - "Photo Inspiration"

Welcome to the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #16

"Photo Inspiration"!

For the month of September, we ask that you create something inspired by our Inspiration Photo - the colors, shapes, textures, etc...

NOTE: We would like to thank Christy Buchanan from The Painted Picket for allowing us to use this photo of her amazingly artsy "She Studio" in Winnsboro, South Carolina. I took tons of pictures there and found it so very inspiring. To find out more about Christy and her artwork check out her Web Page All Things Painted.
