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!

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…
