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.

…getting ready for the Black and White Show
It’s been awhile since I painted anything. I’ve used a medium that I’ve only dabbled in. These two pieces are made with charcoal and ink. I still need to name them. If you can think of anything I would definitely consider it.
Both are framed and matted in a 11″x14″ frame.

A Great Way to End the Year
…after weeks of dreary grey skies and drizzly weather, a trip to the Centennial Park Conservatory brightened my day
On New Years Eve I decided to check out the Christmas display at the conservatory before it was replaced with the next theme in the New Year. It was probably the busiest I’ve ever seen it. The feature display was filled with poinsettia of all different colours, sizes and shapes. Here are a few photos to wet your appetite.
