So I was confused and curious about who can choose a theme for July's contest. Fortunately I asked CaliforniaPeggy.

She sent this link "that explains exactly who chooses what and when they get to choose." (Her quote.)

To cut to the proverbial chase, however, the winner of May's contest, Nittersing, has the right to select July's theme.
Good going!

Sounds like a challenging theme! Should be very interesting. You may want to post this again, when July gets here. CaliforniaPeggy Jun 2 #2

I was waiting for an invite to submit... so here it is.

TWO COLORS

I've taken to watercolors lately, so I've been all about the colors. Are they complimentary? Or are they contrasting? Are they shaded, toned, tinted? Are they warm or cool?

I'd like to avoid big bursts of multiple colors and rainbows and such.

Keep it, as best you can, TWO COLORS.
