Wednesday Vignettes: Rainbow / Violet

...continuing FINISHING the rainbow project! This started as a project during California's safer at home / shelter in place orders. Looking back at all the pictures i've taken of my garden, and finding a rainbow of colors. I was also inspired by one of my favorite artists, Philippa Stanton at 5ftinf and her book "Conscious Creativity", which talks about color collecting, texture and a ton of other things.

Inspired by her book, creativity, Instagram and with a lot of time on my hands, i went and found all the colors of rainbow in my garden. For today, here's VIOLET, the final rainbow color:

(that was legit the sky one evening... no filter!)

(dearly beloved and departed smoke bush)

Violet is red-purple, which i also had to look up.

And so, the rainbow project comes to an end. My apologies if the last few weeks of Wednesday vignettes were predicable... but i really wanted to find something positive out of the craziness these last few months. When i first thought about this project, i was hoping that by early June, we'd be on the other side...

 You know, i had to look up what "indigo" actually meant as a color? It's a blue-ish purple. Turns out i have more of it than i thought. I really should grow those castor beans again... I'm going to post all the colors, so my apologies in advance if it gets boring... But i really wanted to find something positive out of the craziness these last few months. Up next: VIOLET

(not my garden)

(ditto)

(that's the Huntington)

Funny that green, the most common color, has the most pictures that are not from my garden. But there is something so soothing about large expanses of green.

I'm going to post all the colors, so my apologies in advance if it gets boring... But i really wanted to find something positive out of the craziness these last few months. Up next: INDIGO

Yellow is a really consistent color in my garden. There were a ton more pictures, but these were some of my favorites.
