In place of "New Media Monday" I will be hosting the re-named "Media Spotlight Monday." I realize that most mediums are not "new" and after last week's questionable "latte art" post I decided to spotlight other mediums that may be better known but not of any lesser value. This week's spotlight is mainly focused on abstraction including colored pencil. Take a look at Bronlyn Jone's site especially - her other work is also minimal - it has a certain elegance to it.
