Grass is fascinating from an artist’s point of view. Try replicating this with paint or colored pencil or crayon. There are so many different colors and shades in there! I once had an “artist” friend who argued that “even the color purple is in grass.”
She may have been right, from an artistic point. Purple would certainly add depth!
I chose this photo for a couple reasons: 1) it is late and I have to get myself to bed and 2) green is the color of the University of Oregon Ducks.
I’m not even a football fan, but I want to shout out “Go Ducks!”
I’m married to a Beaver’s fan and my kids are Beaver’s fans and I rooted for the Beavers in tonight’s Civil War game (OSU vs. U of O). OSU lost by a close margin, and it was a beautiful game with a lot of good sporstmanship displayed. I wasn’t happy that the Ducks allowed Blount to play, but…
They won and they are headed to the Rose Bowl!
Congratulations University of Oregon Ducks! We’ll be rooting for you at the Rose Bowl!

Let’s see, there was All the Color Green, The Colour Green, and Green is the Colour? And there was The Color Purple, and……anyway, I like the composition.
How come you have a green lawn and I have a brown/tan lawn? Oh yeah…WATER!
Gotta agree, I wouldn’t have let Blount play. I thought the Oregon Athletic department had stated that he wouldn’t play for the Ducks for the rest of his college career after the Boise incident?
