In and out the dusky bluebells


Today is the the first day of 'Summer of Color' on-line yearly challenge.
It is my favourite on-line art challenge as each week of June a colour prompt opens the door to all sorts of colour exploration.

This weeks prompt is very fortunate for me!
Blue+ Blue+Green.
Fortunate in that over the last few weeks I have been our searching for bluebells as a reference for a bluebell collage/ painting


I was reminded of the childhood song ...

In and out the dusky bluebells
In and out the dusky bluebells
In and out the dusky bluebells
Who will be my partner?
Tippy tippy tap tap on your shoulder
Tippy tippy tap tap on your shoulder
Tippy tippy tap tap on your shoulder
You will be my partner


we called them dusky bluebells although I think some versions of the song use the word dusty. We also used the phrase 'won't you be my master?' not too politically correct these days so this is the friendly version ;)
  I thought creating a bluebell wood at dusk would be beautiful,So for the past few weeks I have been photographing bluebells while on my travels.


Bluebells are so  beautiful and fit perfectly with the 'Summer of color challenge'

    Morag this is fabulous! How fortuitous that the colour prompt fit in. (Mine sort of did but I had to allow myself a little artistic licence all the same!!) I love the texture in this piece and the colours are gorgeous.
