Creative Prompt #318: Rainbow

When I was a camp counselor, my camp name was Rainbow.

Definition: “A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.

Rainbows can be full circles; however, the average observer sees only an arc formed by illuminated droplets above the ground,[1] and centred on a line from the sun to the observer’s eye.

In a primary rainbow, the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted (bent) when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.

In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colours reversed, with red on the inner side of the arc.” (Wikipedia)

What if the universe had no beginning, and time stretched back infinitely without a big bang to start things off? That’s one possible consequence of an idea called “rainbow gravity,” (Scientific American)

Post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of this post. I would really like to keep all the artwork together and provide a way for others to see your work and get familiar with your blog or website.

The Creative Prompt Project, also, has a Flickr group, which you can join to  post your responses. I created this spot so those of you without blogs and websites would have a place to post your responses.

We are also talking about this on Twitter and Instagram. Use the hashtag #CPP

  1. Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue…. I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, too.

  2. I’ve just been reading your blog for a short time, so I have to ask. What is the Creative Prompt? What does the 2nd P in CPP mean? And is this about your quilt inspiration as far as color, design, style, or the quilting stitches or all of it? Lots of things inspire me, some of which are other peoples’ quilts which I immediately realize I would have chosen different colors, prints, fabrics, or layout of the blocks. I haven’t even gotten to the quilting myself yet, so, someday…I’m not much of a sketcher, but I’ve looked at the flickr group and find some it quite interesting. I do hope “quilt rat” & “Jill Buckley” are publishing their designs and even printing them on fabric. That would be fantastic! And, I would definitely buy some of them.
