Summer Of Colour - Purple

Kristin has made this week's colour 'PURPLE'... sometimes not easy to work with, but I've given it a go. As I often begin with a photograph, let's not change anything...


A gorgeous Iris in a beautiful bouquet, a gift, not from my garden this time...

...then perhaps a very small painting inspired by an Australian jazz singer, although only a little purple.

Emma Sings The Blues
That made me think of digital portraits, perhaps with a view to a later painting?

Collaboration Or Conspiracy?
Similar palette as 'Emma'.  I guess I really like those colours together.

Of course a little beading is my relaxation, and I'm forever making earrings and stuff.  I need to have jewels to match ALL my clothes, and love making for friends too. Guess this fulfils Kristin's  'bling' bonus requirement too.
Amethyst... a favourite
Glass pearls.. they come in such great colours.

I love these 'angels'
I'm all purpled out!!!!
