Our daughter Kristen left one of the purple pens she uses for work over at our place (a Pilot G-2 gel pen) and it made me want to fill my purple Lamy fountain pen — with purple ink, of course. I mixed mine from red and turquoise with a touch of black, all De Atramentis Document inks.
And my subject? While getting my sourdough starter to grow, some is discarded each day before the remaining starter is fed. I used yesterday’s discard to mix up some biscuits, to go with the bacon & egg sweet potato hash that Bill made us.
There is something delicious in the colour purple. Definitely one I like to tuck into other shades when I am painting - just a hint or a generous splash, it gives such a richness to shadows or water💜

Delete😂 Miss Anonymous Kate it is!
DeleteKristen and her husband graduated from Kansas State University so purple is a “thing”. There have been so many K-State engineers in her company that the company buys purple pens for their regular use!
After painting my hand, I had an afterthought: I should have dropped a bit of purple into the shadows of the hand!
