The Ugly Art Club's 5-minute challenge has begun and I'm diving in headfirst. The prompt for today is "cycle" and I'm taking inspiration from the color of the prompt cutout. It's all about flexibility and creativity in approach. If you're joining in, remember that there are no strict rules – just enjoy the journey and let your creativity flow.

For me, prompts are a wonderful starting point. I like to take them loosely and let my creativity run wild, I'm not taking things too literally, and that's just part of who I am as an abstract artist. I also enjoyed adding a little stitching and incorporating various mixed media supplies and textiles, creating a textured piece.
