Hey Steemians!
Week 24 of #zencolouringcontest starts now!
Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.
To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).
The featured colour this week is Retro Colour Palette
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:
(with example shades of the colour)
The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern. It's Zen for a reason!

Would you like to help support the contest further? Whether you are an entrant or an admirer, If you would like to make a small donation towards the prize pool, please send it with the memo 'ZenColouring # Donation!'.
I myself will be donating 0.25 SBD to the prize pool each week.
This weeks stencil is inspired by flowers and time. I used all of the numbers associated with time to create this pattern within the flower. 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 12 & 24 hours, 12 months, 4 seasons, 52 weeks and 7 days all play a part in each corresponding section. With that I name this stencil 'The Flower of Time!'.
Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!
