~ Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #285: Warm Colors ~


Color has a powerful influence upon the mood in many different kinds of circumstances. For this week’s challenge Egídio, invites us to explore warm colors. Nature abounds with color and blesses us with many opportunities to rejoice in their splendor.

What’s not to love about yellow? It is energetic and cheerful, often gracing the first blossoms of spring. Yellow feels like Joy to me.

Orange is such a vibrant hue, a perfect blend of yellow and red that stimulates and delights my senses.

Red is a powerful color that draws our attention immediately. To me it radiates energy, passion and love.

Pink is soft and friendly. To my eye, it glows with kindness, comfort and contentment.

A touch of blue added to red creates the color purple – a hue that uplifts and inspires me. On the cool end of the warm spectrum, purple’s intensity is rich and luxurious.

On your walk with life, please honor our earth, encourage dignity and share kindness. 🐾

A big thank you to Egídio, for bringing warmth to those of us in the northern hemisphere still living in the midst of winter’s dreariness!

  1. I feel warmer already! Lovely shots. I’m working on a color palette book (not sure if it’ll be a reference, a work of art, or what) so I’m thinking a lot about color and color combinations right now.

    Lindy, what a beautiful gallery you shared for this challenge. I thank you for participating in the challenge. These are amazing photos you posted here. Each set is so vibrant and full of energy. I loved that you expressed what each hue does to your senses. The macros are stunning in beauty and detail. The rose with the bee inside and that vase are stunning. Your eye to detail and composition shines through in all of these photos. Thanks again!

    Interestingly Lindy, yours is the only response I’ve seen that broke the colors out this way, and so beautifully illustrated! I loved your response to the challenge and it definitely warmed my day!

    I am reading this at the same time I am listening to a spiritual podcast and they speak of joyful. Kind of ironic to read through your thoughts with those joyful (and warm) thoughts in mind. A beautiful garden party and feast for our eyes this morning. Thank you for this, Lindy. Great organization, and I love the pinks with the yellow center.
