My rotation book: The Web of Life

Rotation #3- September 2010 to September 2011

Rotation books are circling the globe. This is the one i started, in progress. I will get it back in September. These books have pages designed each month by various artists relating to the stated theme by the originator of each individual book. The books vary in size and shape, theme and content, as independent as their owners. Enjoy . . .

Rotation Book: Love...

The Carrion and the Fly

degas quote

Painting is the ability to surround Venetian red so that it looks like vermillion.
— Edgar Degas

Violet

• In Chinese painting, the color violet represents the harmony of the universe because it is a combination of red and blue (Yin and yang respectively).^[10]

• In Green Lantern (comic book), the seven colors of the rainbow each represent their own emotion. Violet light represents love, and the lantern corp that draws power from it are the Star Sapphire. However, the light they use is closer to the web color violet rather than true violet.

• In the United Kingdom it is traditional to package chocolate in violet colored packaging because of the association of the color royal purple with luxury.
