Purple and yellow are such good friends
I am participating in a few blog parties and online challenges this summer.
“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.”
— Alice Walker (The Color Purple)
The colour challenge from Summer of Color 5 this week is purple, purple and yellow. Hop on over to Kristin’s site to see more.
The subject matter suggested by Creative Tuesdays is “Little Twitters” (birds). I’ve always loved birds, crows particularly, so it was easy!
Oddly enough, Purple Finches aren’t purple! I suppose like blue flowers are really purple? I’m not sure how this is interpreted. So I used a more literalapproach with some artistic license 😉
I had a look through some of my past work to see if I had anything that fit the colour challenge but found only this abstracted photo of pigment. (I can’t help myself sometimes, whipping my phone out at work, trying to catch the rapidly changing swirls!)
I am also linking to Sunday Sketches and Paint Party Friday.
Très jolie! Je les aime!
I just love that finch, it’s such a cutie 🙂
Have a beautiful week!

beautiful bird and a lovely abstract, looks like ocean waves.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
I love your purple and yellow bird…..that is the looseness I love…but this time…I needed the discipline of detail and layers. I love watercolor and you have done a masterful job.
Terri,
I love the soft tones of the finch. He is beautiful. And using the complement of yellow makes him stand out. I love the eye too.
Blessings,
Janis
Beautiful finch! Very lifelike and thoughtful look on his face, the subtle purple and yellow together are lovely complements. Great work!
Hi Terri, love the colors you used on your detailed finch painting. It’s beautiful. The swirls in the second image is creative too. 🙂
