It's blueberry season and there's a patch on one of our morning routes that I can keep an eye on. I love watching the colors change as they ripen to their beautiful shade of blue.
Tracie created another two sided Rainbow Connection card...this time in blue. She said she is doing that for all of us....we get to choose what's the front and what's the back. I love them both....so they are both fronts.
She was going for just the right bright blue for the butterfly....so mixed Dioxazine Purple and Phthalo Blue Green....and she nailed it! I'm also quite fond of the little hole in the wing...nice touch Tracie! Thank you! Thank you!
I followed the blue pig parade this morning for a visit Patty down the street.....
and her hydrangea did not disappoint! Her backyard is sanctuary!
The hole in the butterfly wing: perfection. An exquisite reminder of the value of contrast/surprise and off-center focal point in composition.
ReplyDeleteNow to keep that reminder on a top shelf when I'm painting …: )
Yes!
