Theme is : Thinking Outside the Box

'Relaxing Afternoon' by Lyn Morris, Buxton
Our u3a Art Group have been looking at elements of composition and abstract. I saw the August title and thought that abstract art is essentially art “outside the box”. So I sketched a box with thought bubbles emerging, used watercolour then glitter pens and B&W acrylic to doodle.
