This week’s color was Burnt Sienna.
Brooke added another challenge to create a diptych this week. I found quite a bit of Burnt Sienna right here at home, but for my diptych I chose to use these two photos of a bridge crossing the Erie Canal.
Here are the photos from around the house:
Clothespins from a vintage shop that I keep in my studio.
A wooden “plate” from Guatemala given to my husband by our daughter. It hangs over his dresser.
A duck decoy that sits on top of our media center in the den.
My bedside table drawer.
A painting given to me by Sarah that hangs in my studio. The frame is also close to Burnt Sienna, but didn’t photograph particularly well.
I’m trying to figure out how to participate in this challenge while we’re on vacation. I know better than to take my box of crayons which will surely melt in the Arizona heat. I suppose I can try to guess the color by the posted prompt and the first few examples posted on the site, or I can do catch-up when I get back. None of those choices really appeal to me, however. I like carrying my crayon around; it’s become a habit.
Such beautiful pics—LOVE the clothespins but that rust with the contrasting green background is just really cool. Great shots!!
Great color examples. I’ve really enjoyed seeing your posts on these crayon colors; your photos are excellent.
Karen, Color up some swatches to take with you, make them on stiff white cardstock and cut out stick shapes…then you’ll have your “crayons”…they will just be 2D, not 3D. xoxo
The bridge photos are a great colour match but it’s fun to see the things around the house too 🙂 x
Diptych and drawer are my favorite shots. Great job!
What I love about this challenge is the way it really works to make you take in your surroundings and see things in a different way. It’s fascinating.
Really love the rusty old bridge! I chose rust for mine too! Great diptych!
Burnt Sienna is one of my “go-to” colors in my paint box. Lovely examples all.

Great pictures, the pegs are my favourite. They look so rustic in the pic 🙂
Lovely pictures this week Karen, I love the clothes pins.
Lovely captures.
Each is so unique.
You always have some great finds, but the diptych is my favorite! Thanks for playing along!
I love the rust! So very cool!
