Artist: Rachel Paxton

I thought it fitting to end the year with a new found love: the art of Rachel Paxton. Her works have wonderful textures and a soft palette.I also really like anything with an ornamental pattern that incorporates birds and butterflies. She has the winning combination....in spades.Happy New Year everyone! See you all Monday.

A Meditation on Indigo

************************************

I love indigo.It melds so beautifully with other hues and is never too demanding of attention yet able to easily stand on it's own. According to wiki, it is situated between blue and violet and as most people cannot  distinguish indigo from blue and violet, it may be, well, a tad under-appreciated. These images represent what I think of as indigo, although it was interesting to see the array of hues others thought of as indigo too.
