Collecting Pink!

Subtitle: Making It Fair!

Philippa Stanton teaches that "collecting colour through observation is another simple way to lead you into a daily practice of actually looking at what's around you and loosens up your 'noticing' skills." It brings a "simple sense of purpose to the act of looking." Conscious Creativity

Today I had a purpose....I collected pink.

I was tickled pink that my friend Ann actually read the chart on yesterday's post.  On behalf of her granddaughter she celebrated the fact that we added "pink/coral" as the 8th color in the rainbow spectrum. As I mentioned in the post....Becky and I took some liberties with the second half of the spectrum for the sake of the art trade. Little did we know that we were on to something.

Ann's comment read: 

"I love that you're finishing with pink in your rainbow.  My granddaughter used to say 'It's not fair to pink that pink's not in the rainbow.' You've made it fair again!"

Thanks Ann....I love this!

I have grown to love pink more and more over the years.

And there was plenty of spring pink on this morning's walk.

  

This was a particularly pleasing pink scene.

I found the Pink Panther...and some found objects in the jar.

 

Thinking about pink made me tap into my inner little girl.....and I painted a goofy rainbow.....with 9 colors instead of 7.  Pink works at both ends...it's only fair!

I stitched it onto a card....

rounded the corners....

...and added a caption! I wonder if Kimberly is too old for this now?

I'll find out! Maybe you're never too old for rainbows!  I'm not!
