You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Louise Gale is hostess of the Creative Color Challenge. There is a button on my side bar if you are interested.
I needed to stretch my creative muscles since I have been stagnant for so long. So I joined. The first color she chose was Sunflower Yellow.....UGH ! This has got to be the one color that I wished with all my might that she would not choose. We are also permitted to use white and black. Still a tough combo for me. The upside is that all challenges after this one should be a piece of cake. The other reason why this challenge was so hard is because I still haven't unpacked everything in the studio after the flood. So I grabbed the yellow pages some yellow and black paint and some Golden's matte medium. That's enough for a quick collage. This is what came out of that combination of items.

It's on a 5x5 canvas.  

I think I was having a flash back.   

Can you hear the music? 

"Don't it always seem to go. You don't know what you've got til it's gone....."

  I hope next week's color is one that I can get along with. I 'm not happy with this one and my poor photos don't help a bit. I know we should always try to put our best work on our blogs. But, I'm human and sometimes we humans just can't force creativity. Hopefully you can at least enjoy the effort and the idea behind it.
