Violet you say?!

It's been an extended search on Roy G Biv day. I have a couple of examples of violet in cloth and a couple on paper using mixed media. This first piece "Call to Flight" the story of Icarus, is a favorite of mine and I used it as the cover for my 2008-2012 catalog. A visit to the site of Jennifer Coyne Qudeen will give you a list of other searchers of violet.

  1. Mary Ann, you have outdone yourself with violet! The Icarus piece is a big favorite of mine, and the deep purple on the second piece is to die for. I really love the color combinations and design of the third, and of course the stitching is wonderful. Wow!

  5. Thanks for sharing some of your work for "violet" - it's really lovely! I am especially drawn to the layering of the first piece, and the orderly rows/contrasting colors of the third one.
