Favorite Color? (Blog Hop Winners)

COLOR
How can I choose a favorite?
Each day is a different mood
And each hue fills me with deep emotions
But for today - as I get ready to climb up on a ladder and paint our entry-way a deep, heathered teal...

I have to admit that the lovely range of colors between green and blue make me smile.
















What is your favorite color... at least for today?

Thank you all for swirling through colors with me this last week.
I have loved being a part of this wonderful group of artists who have inspired me to run outside in this cold, rainy December and take pictures! (though admittedly my photos are a bit dark in this cool, grey light).

Here are the lovely winners* (Drum Roll Please):

Wednesday (December 7): Barb Mahle (Anonymous)
Thursday (December 8): Valerie (Hot Art)
Friday (December 9): Sally Anderson (Wild Sally Road)
Monday (December 12): ChrisD
Tuesday (December 13): Pamela (Bailey in a Box)
Wednesday (December 14): Mari (Mis Amores)

*Please e-mail me with your e-mail address so I can send you the
pdf of DIP INTO COLOR!


Your comments have filled my cup and as a thank you, I am offering a SPECIAL DEAL on my eBook: DIP INTO COLOR through tomorrow (6:00 pct). Take a peek here.

White on White (another Blog Hop day)













What is white really
A hint of color peeping through a veil
Soft
Serene
Often overlooked, overshadowed
But even white has life
in it's shadows

Shades of Green (another Blog Hop day)

All the lovely colors of green..












So much depth, as nature knows - GREEN is a perfect backdrop for all of the other colors.

But equally stunning on it's own.

Frosty Morning Blues (another Blog Hop day!)




I hope your weekend was lovely!
We had clear, frosty mornings up on the island - what a beautiful get-a-way.

I was a felting maniac (guess what everyone's getting for Christmas?!) as the kids pieced puzzles, read by the fire and bundled up for walks on the beach - one of the perks of no internet!

The gorgeous sunrises, and frosty coating on every blade of grass and dried seed pod in our wild garden, sung with indigo and gold - a rich Split Complementary from the Warm Earthtone Color Wheel.
