I recently ran across the amazing collage artist Rex Ray and his colorful works. His use of shape and painted textures were especially inspiring to me. If you have a moment, definitely google him and take a look at his extensive portfolio. This particular piece seemed perfect for blog hop inspiration. With a bold, unique color scheme and a unique arrangement of basic shapes, there is a lot you can take away from this! Substitute other images or shapes for the ovals and rounded squares. Use your own interpretation of the colors to create a masterpiece!
-Participating bloggers can add their link to the appropriate list here anytime between 10am EST and 11:30pm ET on January 25th within the InLinkz list below. The title of your post should be "Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge".
