A New Challenge Appears!

#ArtABCs An important part of my art challenges for the past year has been that each theme lasts 2 weeks. This allows everyone to take part, take their time, & have fun with each prompt. 2 weeks per prompt makes 26 prompts in each year! So this year we're arting the alphabet from A-Z. Letters like æ, ñ, or anything with a diacritical mark can go anywhere you think they belong.

Begin At The Beginning

Surprise- we're starting with the letter A. Any art subject starting with that letter is fair game, no matter how abstract.
