summer of color: purple
I played with my watercolors and inspiration came from my garden - of course, all tied together by the color purple. This is a mixed media sketch tablet, but I was working on the wrong side of the paper, so there was no tooth for my watercolors ...lesson learned. I like the idea so may explore it further later in the week. The grid helped organize and contain my drawings - creating a collage in this style could be fun too.
You can visit Twinkle Twinkle for LOTS more great artwork pieces (in lots of different mediums) in purple.

I realized I also have a couple of photos I've taken recently that have beautiful purples in them!
Mother Nature provides gorgeous examples of purple every day!!!
