Searching for Roy G Biv: Gray

In our search for Roy G Biv, we have now come the color gray. Our hostesses, Jennifer Coyne Qudeen and Julie B Booth, had to add on some colors that aren't in the rainbow, in order to round out the year.

A statue at Spring Grove cemetery in Cincinnati displays soft, mottled grays...



Huge gray rocks at Eagle Falls in the Great Smokey Mountains...



A little footbridge at Springrove...



A towering gray rock wall beside the Cumberland River in Kentucky...



An old, abandoned building (corn crib?) on what remains of a farm in rural Kentucky...



A widow on a lovely memorial chapel at Springrove...



A view of the side of that same chapel...



Shelf fungus on a log in Lewis County, Kentucky...



A fallen silvery gray leaf...



I hope you enjoyed my grays! To see what grays other participants have on display, please visit Julie B Booth or Jennifer Coyne Qudeen.

It's All About BLUE

Once again, I'm participating in Julie B. Booth's and Jennifer Coyne Qudeen's blog hop, "Searching for ROY G BIV", and the color for May is blue.



... an antique blue tractor...




... some embroidery floss of various blue hues...




 ... bluejays...



... hopping around my yard...



... in search of seeds...




 ... a very old church in Richmond, Virginia, with a blue roof...




a large blue sculpture outside the Virginia Museum of Fine Art...






Happy blue day, everyone. Be sure to check out Jennifer's and Julie's lovely blogs for connections to more on the blue spectrum...

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.

Searching for ORANGE (RoyGBiv)

Jennifer Coyne Qudeen's and Julie Booth's Searching For Roy G Biv blog hop has brought us to the second color in the visible spectrum of light, ORANGE.  February, at least here in Kentucky, is fairly devoid of orange. Brown and gray we have in plenty, but orange - not so much. Therefore, I decided I'd have to search among my own artwork for a color so bright.



Transformation 14







Kalachakra Matrix







Angel of the Flame






Convergence







Please head over to Julie Booth's or Jennifer Coyne Qudeen's gorgeous blogs to check out the other oranges everyone found!
