1 / 1 Aoibheann Hutchinson. Grade: 11. Title: Fields of cows and boys. Artist Statement: This is a piece made with watercolour and pencil crayons. It was difficult to get those bright whites to pop out, but with some work, I think it came out nicely. It was the same with all the blades of grass. If you look closely, you’ll see that the grass was all painted on as individual blades of grass. SUPPLIED/Photo

Colour Scheme is a rotating monthly online art gallery featuring selected works by students of Bellerose, Paul Kane, and St. Albert Catholic high schools. Each month of the school year, several pieces from each school will be highlighted on The Gazette’s website on the last Saturday of the month.

The Colour Scheme show for this month is Lime Green: the colour of November.

Lime green was first used as a colour name in 1890. The hue is named after the typical shade of the citrus fruit: limes.

The hue was held in high regard in ancient Egypt, when it was considered a symbol of rebirth, strength, and good health.
