Update: 2nd try!  I like this one much better!

I can't wait to do this again, I ruined it with the background.  Yikes.

I'm pretty happy for a first trying this format.  I'm going to do it agian...much looser and with white showing.  OVERWORK is my biggest challenge to overcome! 

 

I used 8 colors 4 warm 4 cool

Warm; New Gamboge, French Ultramarine, Pyrol Scarlet Sap green 

Cool;  phthalo blue, Quin. magenta, azo yellow, veridian green

 

I thru in some quin purple here and there too.

I really enjoyed this project!  Thank you!
