Sunday Sketches - Forest Rainbow

It's time for Sophia's Sunday Sketches! Please visit the other participants and join in the fun!

Hope the Canadians are enjoying their long Thanksgiving weekend! We're having beautiful, summery weather.

Today I decided to show a rainbow in the forest, an ACEO done in acrylic. Did you know the colours of the rainbow are always ROYGBIV in the order? (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet). I learned that from my son's Science homework last year!

Happy Thanksgiving - I hope you're having a wonderful one! A slice of pumpkin pie with extra whipped cream sounds delicious :)

When I was little Roy G. Biv came for a visit to our classroom - it was very exciting!

Your latest forest paintings are lots of fun :)

Oh this is lovely!
And isn't it wonderful the things we learn from our children's homework :)

reminds me of Emily Carr who keeps popping into our life around here, totally different style of course but the perspective of the trees!

Lovely rainbow to highlight the forest colors. I knew but had forgotten... they came back quickly.

Such a happy picture! We have rainbows all the time in Hawaii, but rarely in Illinois. It's always fun to see.
