"Oak Creek Canyon" By Sue Marrazzo

DAY #30 -- 30 Paintings in 30 Days

Here is my LAST painting for the September Painting Challenge. This work has layered colors, marks, and mediums. I used a painter's comb, many brushes, and handmade mark makers. I used 3 colors that I never use, along with 6 favorites. The idea was to experiment with color, and incorporate the likes and dislikes. 
Here is #30!
