Thank you!
I just spent 5 minutes drying Coco off after playing in the snow.
Because she's a long hair GSD, all the snow clumps on and in her paws and forms into little snowballs... :doh:
She's good about letting me clean them all off her... very patient... but I get a lot of snuffles in the process!

Thank you for such a beautiful intro!

I wanted to share something I learned only recently. I took up painting as a pandemic project, and I am in the process of assembling a palette. As such, I have been researching colors and pigments, and I finally learned the difference between purple and violet. Perhaps this is obvious to some of you, but it was new information, and I thought I would share.

Violet is actually a spectral color -- meaning it is a color of the rainbow. In the English-speaking world, kids learn the acronym ROY G BIV -- where 'V' is for Violet. (The abbreviation itself is actually somewhat controversial because the 'I' is for Indigo, a color many optical scientists do not recognize, but that is a discussion for another day). To make the matters more confusing, Newton initially called the last color of the optical spectrum 'violet,' then he switched to 'violet-purple,' then to just 'purple.'

So what is purple then? Purple is a color resulting from a mixture of red and blue -- and violet. In 'real life,' we often mix them up. Depending on the culture, purple can be seen as more 'red' and violet can be seen as more 'blue.'

One more art comment -- in 1874, the alternative Salon took place by the Impressionists. The thing that shocked the world the most was the color purple -- or violet. Violet shadows in particular were mocked by everyone. Prior to that, classic artists used Sepia, Van Dyke Brown, black, and similar colors to paint shadows. The Impressionists argued that the shadows are any color by black. Monet loved purple shadows -- his argument was that violet was the opposite of yellow, the color of sunlight, so it made perfect sense to use it as a shadow color. That is quite obvious in his haystack series (I got the attached image from Sotheby's).

It is interesting that the violet shadows are what the art critics latched on to -- but at the time, that was truly shocking! In painting like that, the Impressionists literally changed the course of modern art -- these days, no one is shocked when shadows are purple or water is yellow.

What a fun mystery week! I’m yet again needing to scroll back to the past weeks theme. End of year work has been mind boggling. Why does everyone wait until nearly Christmas to close out projects or start new ones?

I love purple but only recently started wearing them again. I think I was in a mostly pastel brights mode until the turn of events this year led me to deeper introspection. And I am loving the mysteries of blue violet purples.

New to me mousseline Dans un Jardin Anglais ( twins with a few of you). This was my grail colorway that I hunted for several years since only one came into our boutique. It now joins my coral one from Istanbul. Also the ever popular Mythiques design in a tattoo version.

Happy purple week, more to come!

Over forty years ago I was a college student spending a semester abroad studying in Vienna. Several nights a week I would head over to either the Staatsoper or Volksoper to get a cheap standing room ticket for that night’s opera. I’m positive that I have seen at least 6 of the 8 operas listed in my SOTD, Fleurs de L’Opera, and who knows, maybe all of them. I figured this was a unique opportunity to get an education in opera, something that was missing from my upbringing in the rural Midwestern United States. My most memorable treat was seeing Wagner’s entire Der Ring des Nibelungen over a four week period.

I have been wanting a beautiful purple scarf since I began collecting Hermes scarves, which is why I finally decided on this colorway for Fleurs de L’Opera. I’m delighted to debut it here during Purple Week.

Showing off my moody little DUJA on this rainy morning. I wanted to take a photo in better lighting, but couldn’t resist taking her out of the box to play after I saw Lanit’s stunning moussie. This scarf was a grail for me and I was happy to find her in good used condition for a fair price. The purples are beautiful. While the outside border is a true red, the inside is more burgundy/deep crimson. This is a much better color for me, so I prefer to highlight the middle of the scarf. The purples are, of course, beautiful! I hope one day the DUJA is reissued.... maybe someone from H is reading this :angel:

Au Bout du Monde with quite a bit of purple, or perhaps it’s Violet?
This picture shows the purples better:
