Greenspiration

Another month of searching for Roy G Biv is upon us with our hosts,  Jennifer Coyne Qudeen and Julie B. Booth.  And Spring is upon us when we start to see GREEN.  It’s also my favorite color in all it’s “ishes.”  I especially like that acidy tone that veers toward yellow on  color wheel.  But I present here a wide area of greenish things from around town and around the house.

“The eye experiences a distinctly grateful impression from this colour. If the two elementary colours are mixed in perfect equality so that neither predominates, the eye and the mind repose on the result of this junction as upon a simple colour. The beholder has neither the wish nor the power to imagine a state beyond it. ”   Goethe

Orange Matters

We are moving along the color wheel, once again with Jennifer Coyne Qudeen and  Julie B. Booth :: this month, ORANGE.  So look left-ish, around 10 o’clock  for the color of the month, with a peek at what lies ahead for the coming months.

I have always been attracted to color and orange is one of my favorites.   This is a piece I finished in 2002, before orange had thoroughly returned to it’s 70’s popularity.

Artists use orange to attract attention or make a point.

What a paradox; he's amazingly disciplined!

Nature has it down pat.
