Colors in Nature

I took a collage class once that my friend Ernie was teaching.

He was an excellent teacher and I learned much from him.

Ernie made an interesting claim when we were talking about

the color wheel, that certain colors do not appear together in

nature like purple and yellow, orange and blue...these colors

were in opposition or non-complementary on the color wheel.

I couldn't leave that one alone. I went home and looked through

a ton of magazines and found flowers and insects where those

colors do indeed exist side by side. I cut them up and turned them
into a collage.

Ernie laughed and laughed.
