Purple Flash

On St. Patricks Day
I wore green rose earrings and a green sweater
and did not need to wear a jacket as we finally got
not only a sunny day but a warmer one, too.
I surprised myself by buying the most
beautiful purple potted Campanula
loaded with more
blossoms then I had ever seen and of course I
was there to buy ONLY strawberries and
a pkg of spinach for quite the salad with broiled
chicken strips and walnuts etc.
One would never know how I love the
color purple if you'd hunted with me
around here for some purple things to
photo by the pot. It sure was a scarce item but I found a
sweater for the backdrop and a light up ball
if you squeeze it just right, I thought the
photo would not work with it flashing
colors but voila!---got a shot I like.
***********
I'm busy now on a painting with a ghostly
presence I felt in an old mill..Haven't we all,
if we get the chance to be inside one? !

I think you have a boat load of blues and purples. Neat! I like how the statue's understated color range makes the colors snap out even more. There's a nice tension, too, between nature's colors and synthetic colors.

I hope you had on the song Purple Rain by Prince when you were creating this...or maybe Lavender Blue Dillly Dilly...??
