Why the use of color in painting and design is so valuable…

Just see the paintings of Maxfield Parish…astounding colors!

Matisse, Pisarro, Roger Dean, Roger Ellman and many more!

How cheerful the world is hued when brilliance & brightness and the fine vivacious energy of brightness is used in art!

And clothes, how welcome to visit lands or communities where people wear something other than funereal black, basement-cleaning brown or down low and miserable grey!

Choose a color a day for a week and see how much better you feel.

And for this course…no fee, no classes or lessons…just bright goodness. Wear it and create it yourself!

Wow!

Beginners and benevolent jest.

Later, we worry about saying the wrong thing, causing offence or igniting rage.

Before – the self conscious sabotage – we fluidly and fluently express everything that comes to mind without upset.

Would less preparation, perspiration and soul-searching be a good thing?

Oh what an over-seasoned subject.

All that and we try to avoid salty foods.

Packing plastic bags and sipping a bold flavored soup.

It’s something that happens on the cusp.

Before the event.

After the planning.

During the execution of the plan.

Getting ready, seeing progress towards the intended result, yet much still to be done.

You know. You know. You know.

A moment of confusion soon erased by astounding clarity.

Even with little sleep and lots to do, there is a moment where we have all the answers.

That’s the way to play it.

Play?

What did I say there when the apples were crisp and the apricots delicious and tender?

Let me think…

The system chose, we just modified.

The room had a magnificent view, a fine color scheme and two entrances.

Had we accepted what we were first given, then, no view, awfully dull and boasting a thoroughly enjoyable view of a garage entrance.

There is no match for conversation.

We also made a friend of the woman at the front desk, Carla, who was so helpful the moment we asked.

Please say hello when you see her.
