Inspired by Nature's Colors


Blues, purples, greens...
These are the colors that I tend to gravitate to the most.



I created another Mandala, only this time with very few colors.


As I created this mandala, I thought of the beautiful, hydrangeas I hope to grow in my new climate when we move to Washington. 


So many varieties of hydrangeas just like there are so many varieties of mandalas.


I love the calmness this mandala brought while painting with my watercolors.


Do you have a color or colors that you are drawn to?

Love that second hydrangea photo, Becca! I too love the blues, purples, pinks, and red..greens not so much. You are going to be one happy gardener!
The colors in your mandala and photos are just stunning, Becca! Beautiful! I am attracted to many colors...depending on my mood~

Yay! Another post from Patina Moon! I always look forward to your posts Becca. Your art is lovely and I like your gravitational colors. I tend to put a lot of pink in my art. I grew up with pink and I think that is why.

You must be so excited for your move. I know I would be.

Just LOVE the serenity of your mandala, Becca... those colors are gorgeous! I, too, gravitate to blue, purples, and pinks as well...they feature a lot in my art. But I am learning to love warmer colors in creating, like red & orange--along side pink & purple. Going WILD... ;o)...LOL! So thrilled about your up-coming move--very exciting! Happy Weekend ((HUGS))

I love hydrangeas too - they remind me of my grandmother who used to grow massive ones in her garden.

Love the mandala. I tend to gravitate toward the hydrangea palette too. Las Vegas to Washington? Your gardener's heart must be leaping for joy!

Like you, I am drawn to cool colors: green, blue and violet!
I often paint with blue and metallic colors!

Love your first photo of the hydrangeas! Makes me want to plant some now, even though it is winter! :)

Happy PPF!!

those hydrangea colours are absolutely stunning and vibrant and your music is making me want to go and have a massage, it's very calming and the sort of music you hear in a treatment room!

p.s. Good luck with your hydrangea growing in Washington - I just read somewhere that if you bury pennies in the soil it turns them blue...

Beautiful, peaceful work. These are the same colours I am drawn to.

I adore hydrangeas. And they do grow beautifully here! Where are you looking to live here??? My favorite colors are warm yellow, coral red, and turquoise blue. Even though Ultramarine blue is cooler in hue, I like it also!
HuGGs! Debi

Beautiful shades of blue, both in your art work and in nature. You will be delighted with what you'll be able to grow in Seattle. It must be so exciting to look forward to.
Geckostone said…
Wow this whole post and blog are a work of art, such beautiful color popping out both in the photos and mandala! I love the wood backdrop to it all on your blog page too! Deb
Jaime Haney said…
Just a beautiful mandala, such soothing colors. You have nailed it on the hydrangea colors! Can't wait to see pictures of these soon to be gardens :)

I find I'm drawn to different colors at different times, but there are a few that are always my favorite.
Rosie Grey said…
These colours are fantastic, Becca! And your mandala looks amazing!
Heather Foust said…
Sooooo beautiful!! Colors are just so brilliant!

Hi, Becca! I'm commenting on the wrong post - oops! (I should be on the latest, eh?)

However, a hydrangea and its pretty colors always stops me in my tracks - they're such a favorite of mine!

and, you're moving to Seattle area! Wow!!! I love it up there but it's, er, the opposite of a desert, that's for sure. There are some beautiful gardens up that way. A ferry ride over to Victoria, BC gets you to the Butchart Gardens. Have you been?

Very best wishes for your move! =]

Love,
