It was a coloristic decision. Not one influenced by song lyrics. Honest! But there is something iconic about purple mountains isn’t there? And I feel that, given the fact I hold in my possession a valid and recently renewed artistic license, I can paint those mountains any darn color I choose. Even purple!
And it is a beautifully hopeful song lyric. And we can never have too much hope.
“Oh, beautiful, for spacious skies”
