color blocking at the museum

My mom, grandma, and I went to the Cincinnati Art Museum during their visit this week. They enjoyed the collection and the building architecture as much as I have on previous visits...

I got dressed for our outing following the day 4 prompt of the 21 Day Challenge: color blocking. I felt like mine was a tiny bit of a cheat since one of my colors (navy) is really more of a neutral - but I was still doing bold colors and was pretty happy with how it turned out. Plus I went around the museum and found some artsy color blocks to add to the effect.
