Election 2020
Oof. The presidential election this year feels momentous. It seems like there is a lot on the line, and, to be honest, I’m nervous. I hope that every eligible voter gets a chance and chooses to exercise their right to vote. It is so important!
With the election on my mind, I was inspired to create a very American palette this month. The colors of Election season 2020 are: democracy red, dawn’s early light blue, rocket’s red glare, patriotic navy, purple mountain majesties, Old Glory red, shining sea cyan, eagle’s talons yellow, white stripes, US Mint green, liberty blue, and presidential royal.
I also was inspired to create some election art of my own. I’m not going to tell you how to vote. My wish is that you take this opportunity to make your voice heard.

April Color Inspiration
My intention for April was to focus on fresh Spring colors: lilac, pale yellow, grass green, etc. a very Easter appropriate palette. However, I got a bit distracted by my recent travels to Sedona. The stunning landscape and vivid colors of the Coconino Forest forced me to rethink this month's palette.
Usually, I have really bad luck with the weather on vacation, but not this time. The temperature was ideal. Not too hot. Not too cold. Likewise, the skies were perfectly blue and clear which contrasted beautifully with the gorgeous red rock.
Anyway, you can see how Sedona inspired this month’s color wheel. The colors of the month are red rock red, desert maroon, sagebrush, windbreaker pink, dusty orange, navy shadows, horizon blue, juniper green, mesquite leaf, too blue skies and peachy sand.
