Bug summary
When running a test suite with multiple tests using check_figures_equal, figures are re-used, causing plot elements to become "stacked", causing tests to unexpectedly fail.
Code for reproduction
from matplotlib.testing.decorators import check_figures_equal
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
@check_figures_equal(extensions=["png"])
def test_red_line_first(test_figure, reference_figure):
red_circle = plt.Circle((0, 0), 0.2, color='r', clip_on=False)
reference_figure.add_artist(red_circle)
reference_figure.subplots().plot([0,1,2], [3,4,5], color='red')
@check_figures_equal(extensions=["png"])
def test_blue_line_second(test_figure, reference_figure):
blue_circle = plt.Circle((1, 1), 0.2, color='b', clip_on=False)
reference_figure.add_artist(blue_circle)
reference_figure.subplots().plot([0,1,2], [4,4,4], color='blue')

I'm guessing these lines are at fault, and might need some kind of other information to distinguish them?
