how i describe colours: august think tank.
********
this month's blog-o-sphere think tank topic:
describing colours.
there are scientific explanations for colours:
the spectrum of light physics,
wavelengths and human eye sensations.
transmission.
emission.
brain perception.
all that.
you know??
but i do know this:
i must have colour in my life.
allow me to explain....
the colour of summer in alaska.
this was one of my favourite colours when i was young.
i had a colour pencil with
helio
imprinted on it.
that colour pencil must've drawn me to alaska....
that colour pencil must've drawn me to alaska....
****
garden colours.
****
****
colours of the forest floor.
****
colours of friendship.
****
the colour of rain.
****
deeply rubrous beets leaving their imprint on my hands.
****
tangy citrus, colouring my tastebuds.
****
the colours of the creations of my own hands.
the colours of my soul.
****
the colour i chose for my daily ride to town.
my mango-tango neelie jeep.
****
the colours of winter.
the colours of my favourite time of year.
****
the colours of love.
****
colours.
so very difficult to describe without the language of science.
all i know is this:
i must have these colours in my life to feel alive.

I'm so grateful to be a part of it. To know you, is like having a rainbow as a friend.
Love!
the colour, especially.
and i'm so grateful to have YOU be part of my life.
*love*
it's imperative.
once in a while i'll look at a photo of a studio or a living space with a very zen palette and orderliness and remark on how much i like it, whereupon my daughter reminds me that nothing in my life will ever look like that, certainly not for more than 15 minutes.
she's right.
i live a life layered in color.
and that's a good thing!

agreed.
i have to have the chaos and the colour.
to think.
to create.
we are kindred.
