Roy G Biv: Yellow

 A couple of yellow butterflies...



... from those warmer days...



 ...a very cool old building in Richmond, VA...




... a family riding a tractor under a yellow awning...



... a yellow wall at the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen gallery in Berea, KY...



... a piece in the Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts in Louisville (sorry I neglected to record the name of the artist)....




It's that time in the Searching for Roy B Biv blog hop when we feature the color Yellow! Please check out the blogs of our hostesses Julie B Booth and Jennifer Coyne Qudeen, where you'll find links to many other yellow discoveries!




Addendum: Just a quick note to let you know that my work was featured in a collection on Artspan's homepage called, "Found, Fractured, and Fastened"! There's some cool artwork in the collection if you'd like to check it out.  Here's a link to the page on facebook.

    Love those Swallowtails and the last piece really struck me...I've been weaving together and stitching strips of cloth recently. Thanks for taking part!

      Thanks, Eric; Everyone seems to like that textile piece and I feel bad that I don't have the name of the artist....

    I seen sometime in the past, an alphabet spelled out using the patterns on butterfly wings ... really beautiful. Love that pieced textile at the museum.

    Your collection of yellows does a lovely job of capturing so many different "materials" & textures! The butterfly wings are so gentle & delicate...whispers of both color & form...
