This is my submission for the Inspiration Avenue "purple" challenge this week - a mixed media piece using collage, acrylics and oil pastels, on a circular canvas (yes - I've started using those new art supplies!)
I am expecting a wonderful array of indigo, periwinkle, lavender and all shades in between to be on display at the Inspiration Avenue blog later today, do come over and have a look!
On a side note, I think purple may be one of the words that has no rhyme in the English language - unless anyone can think of one??

And what a gorgeous use for your new supplies, LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHow very beautiful!!!
This is neat!! looks like it could be a button or a stool sweat too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie - I thought of you and our shared love of butterflies whilst I was painting this!

I have to tell you, this piece brought tears to my eyes. My grandmother has been gone for a long time, but I remember from when I was a child visiting her, she loved two things very much: the color lavender, and butterflies. You captured them both, beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat about 'Purplicious is delicious', well thats what I think of your beautiful butterflies! Its a bit of a dodgy rhyme I know, best I could come up with!!! LOL ☺
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work on that round canvas!
ReplyDeleteI can look forward to a few more I think :)
Hirple: walking with a limp
Curple: the rump
Two words that rhyme with purple.
No one uses them anymore...Let's bring 'em back!
Oh Angie, that's absolutely gorgeous!! I love how the butterflies fade into the distance!!
ReplyDeleteLove your circular canvas! It works so well with your butterflies. Beautiful work as always :-)
ReplyDeleteBunny, thanks so much :)
ReplyDeleteChris - I do hope it brought back lovely memories and didn't upset you hon! x
Elaine ha ha valiant effort at the rhyme there!
Lisa ooh well done I'm very impressed at your vocabulary! Yes you probably will see a few more round canvases - I keep going back and buying more!
Catherine, Annette, thanks so much for your lovely comments :)
