Summer of Color challenge is hosted by Kristin ; today is all about the color green! Green is one of my favorite colors. It is my birthstone; I took a Color fitness test and it came back green! I guess it is in my blood, the serene green growth outdoors nurtures and inspire me. I love to garden, hike, and yes, I have hugged a few trees ;D I married one, red wood type; he has auburn hair, almost 6'4.
Here is my green challenge art work. I always think of my children, when I think of green. How we are as parents have growing pains watching our children develop! I'm curious what is your favorite color?!
*I did find some ephemera at The Graphic Fairy; the photo of the cone flowers is mine. I tried to do a water transfer, but wasn't satisfied with the results, but like how it made the print out of my photo look. I used a few lines from a poem to capture the mood. The top of the house is green, I colored the photo green and outlined the poem with Jade green. It doesn't seem to show up much in the photo~

I have a keyhole in my green artwork too!
This is beautiful art work. It makes me think of those gorgeous Victorian wedding invitations.
I tend to like dark colors - dark blue, black, dark grey.

Tossing It Out
I didn't think I liked green, but after seeing this weeks creations.. I've changed my mind! Now, I'm looking around me and have noticed I have touches of teal(Bluey green) in my living room, spots of lime in my craft room, and hint of green in my kitchen also!!LOL
..but I am a lover of pink!..
