Mad Purple.....

well, much has been made of all the purple in the season opener of Mad Men  .....I don't watch Mad Men, but I do love purple!
one of the first flowers to bloom in late winter.......the purple crocus.....



 What is history of purple?  well......

1. Any of a group of colors with a hue between that of violet and red.
2. Cloth of a color between violet and red, formerly worn as a symbol of royalty or high office.
3. Imperial power; high rank: born to the purple.
4. Roman Catholic Church
a. The rank or office of a cardinal.
b. The rank or office of a bishop.
Purple is is the color of the imagination,creativity .... the not serious......or.........it is the color of royalty.....ponder that contradiction for a moment.......I've never thought those who are wealthy or in power have a damn lick of sense.....Only artists have a flipping clue.....and my whole life is one big purple art project!
