From the pure yellow of the imagined sun, to the orange glow at the end of the day... colors of the sun. Above: Yellow vinyl 45 of The Beatles "Good Day Sunshine" released June 1966. They wrote a few songs with titles referring to the sun in addition to Good Day Sunshine...Here Comes the Sun, I'll Follow the Sun, Sun King, and countless lyrics including sun and sunshine. Above: Golden yellow paint like light streaming down the stairs becomes the focus for the room, and connects the different floors. Found here.

Above: William Abranowicz photo of the television in the music room at Graceland, from the book "Elvis Then and Now", 2002.

Above: Glen Lukens, Untitled Ceramic Above: A vendor selling "sweet laddu", made of chickpea flour or wheat semolina, minced dough, ground coconut, ghee, cashews, raisins, cardamom, sugar and saffron for color as well as taste, though often it's just yellow food coloring. Above: Lemons on our dining table, in a ceramic dish my husband made. Above: Preserved lemons, coated in salt, from the new cookbook "Mourad New Moroccan" by Mourad Lahlou, chef of the Michelin starred San Francisco restaurant "Aziza". Above: Lumps of Indian Yellow pigment in the Winsor & Newton archive, purportedly made from the urine of cows fed only mango leaves. In 1996 Winsor & Newton developed a synthetic mixture that reproduced the color and lightfast qualities of the original pigment. When Victoria Finlay, author of the book "Color", went to the location where Indian Yellow was believed to originate there was no evidence that this was ever the way the color was created, and further investigation yielded no other confirmation of the theory, so the origin of this color remains a mystery. Above: Williamsburg paint makes a beautiful version of Indian Yellow. Above: Helio Oiticica, "B-11 Box Bolide 09", 1964, Tate Collection Above and below: Helio Oiticica, "Grande Nucleo", or "The Great Labyrinth" 1960-1966. Above and below: Sculptures by Aneta Regel Deleu at Pangolin, London Above: Turmeric Above: Turmeric powder and saffron strands. Turmeric is used as an inexpensive dye to recreate costly saffron. The saffron robes of buddhist monks are dyed with turmeric. Saffron comes from Crocus Sativus. The thin crimson stigmas of the flowers need to be tugged out gently by hand, and the rest of the flowers are thrown away. The stigmas have to be tugged early in the day they bloom...by the afternoon they are less valuable and worthless the next day. These days saffron grows mostly in Iran, with some farms in Spain as well. Above: Vintage French garden dining set I came across at an antique market in Nice. The patterns of rust look like the inside of the turmeric. Above: Golden yellow will always call to mind the spines of National Geographic.

When the pine cones are full of pollen it doesn't take much to knock it out...creating a yellow dust that we've collected...you can see the jar below.
