JusJoJan24 – Olive

thanks to Kaye for the prompt, Olive for the JusJoJan24 challenge https://kayespencer.com/2024/01/11/jusjojan24-1-11-2024-feline-olive-jusjojan24-cats-feralcats/

As soon as I heard that ‘Olive’ was the prompt for the JusJoJan challenge I immediately thought of my granddog, Olive. She is a seven year old Frenchie, that brings us much love and joy, especially when we get to dogsit her.

The foil pieces were a bit of a challenge, especially at night when the light from above would leave a glare. This one took me just over two days to complete.

Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge – Purple

thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2024/01/06/weekly-prompts-colour-challenge-purple-2/

I like purple but I have to admit that I am not drawn to it as a colour. Funny because our high school colours were purple and gold. When I think of purple I think of royalty and according to Kendra Cherry from VeryWell https://www.verywellmind.com/the-color-psychology-of-purple-2795820#toc-purple-meanings-and-associations, it can also represent spirituality, wealth, mystery, femininity and in the U.S., bravery and courage, i.e. the purple heart.

It is also not a commonly found colour in nature but I have managed to find a number of purple flowers. Going through my archive I’ve found the following purple objects.
