Roy G Biviolet

Violet is the color to find for this month's Searching For Roy G Biv, hosted by Jennifer Coyne Qudeen and Julie Booth.  Here are a few of the violets I found:



 wood violets - A bit literal, it's true, but no one can deny they're violet - by definition!



Book of Dreams, second page spread (monotype with mixed media)



downy lobelia



untitled watercolor



passion flower



The Blood Dimmed Tide (monotype with mixed media)



cat mint



Check out all the other violet posts by clicking the links here or here. Enjoy!

    Wonderful violets Sharmon! Your Book of Dreams page is exquisite. Are there photos of the full book somewhere? I'd love to see them. Enjoy!

    Book of Dreams is exquisite ... this third piece, monotype is new to me and is also exquisite!
    Life doesn't get better than a bed of violets!

      Thanks, Mary Ann, for all the kind words... I'm taking your phrase "bed of violets" as my metaphor for life this summer...

    I love how you alternated natural violets with your beautiful and mysterious art pieces. That passion flower is amazing as is the Book of Dreams image. Thanks for playing along!

      Thank you, Donna... I have actually contemplated planting about half my back yard with lavender... and I haven't entirely ruled it out!

    These are all gorgeous Sharmon. I especially am drawn to the untitled watercolor. The simplicity combined with the color. I love it.

    Your original work is simply beautiful, Sharmon (thanks for including a link to the full book)...and so are the shots from the garden. I especially love the light in the photo of the cat mint.
