December 2013 Challenge: "Intention"

This month the Girls Just Wanna Paint group has accepted the challenge of "Intention" to paint.  We each interpret this concept differently,  as you can see!

Currently, my intention in painting is to 

focus more on shapes and design, 

and to play around with color harmonies.
