We're building a rainbow, want to help?

Suggestions: an art journal page, a sketch, a doodle, a painting, a mixed media work, embroidery, crochet in one main color.
Here's where you go to add a link to your art for each color - there are linky lovies on each page.
DECEMBER 1: RED or PINK
DECEMBER 2: ORANGE or YELLOW
DECEMBER 3: GREEN or AQUA
DECEMBER 4: BLUE or PURPLE
DECEMBER 5: BLACK or WHITE
GREEN!

AQUA!

5x8" watercolor moleskine, pitt pen, watercolor
I drew a mandala with linear petals, perhaps metallic. To make it aqua artwork, I experimented by mixing about 8 versions of what I envisioned as aqua - unscientifically mixing various blues with various greens in my little palettes.
For motivation today, go listen to the quick 5 minute talk at TED: Ric Elias: 3 Things I Learned While My Plane Crashed. And go hug your kids. {via tweet from @Anmano}
Please post your link(s) to your artwork in GREEN and your artwork in AQUA (you can link twice, if they are in separate posts), as we begin creating our rainbow. {please link to the exact post, not the blog home page}
Note: If you are linking to Flickr, make sure the photo is "public" or the link will not work. I've had to delete a few links to private Flickr photos.

I'm digging the green houses of course, and the aqua mandala is great.
I went outside and got creative with branches! Check out my greens at http://musingsonrealities.blogspot.com/2011/12/go-green.html
