Summer Of Colour - Pink

We're through another week... where's it gone?  Summer Of Color  (Kristin's American spelling) this week is PINK.  Not my favourite colour for using in art, although I have, on occasion.

I am fortunate to have a fabulous view of sunsets from my kitchen window and deck, and often they are incredibly pink.  Such as....



... that inspired this  (although not my best work).

View From The Deck 

The garden also has some wonderful pinks.

My favourite oleander
However, pink lends itself more to jewellery and beads...




 So, I guess there's a certain amount of inspiration in 'pink'.

    I am sorry to say that out of everything you have shared is your kitchen's view! If you knew what i see from my kitchen window you will know what I mean.
    And that necklace is something!

    JM- great sunset - love the flight of birds - and I think you are being a bit hard on yourself regarding your pink inspired piece. Create well. B

    I'm staggered by the respose to my 'pink' week.

    Terrie, Netty, Joanna, Jen, Kristin, and Sharon... glad you like the pieces and thank for your encouragement.

    Lesley... Love that word 'pinkilicious'

    Noemi... I am sooooo lucky, I agree. Perhaps you could paint a temporary transparent view on your window with acrylics?

    Barry... Nice to see a 'bloke' in there. Not being too hard, just truthful. Thanks tho'

    Laura... You're a dear, thanks for visiting.

    Hi Kim... I thought hearts were usually red... but then I dare to be different.

    Danielle... I love it, and it's not always pink.

    I love your view. Your pink pieces are good. I like the texture that you put into the hills. The jewelry is pretty too. I love the flower, so beautiful.
