The colour with which nature has tinted the background of
all her pictures, green, is the most suitable ground for other colours. It
unites wonderfully well with the yellow and blue which have produced it; it
heightens red, and there is no flower or ripe fruit which it does not set off
to greater advantage.... it is both gay and modest, bright and tender. Green
can only awaken amiable and gentle thoughts, remembrances gracious as those of
spring, and other promises of nature: green gives repose to the mind, as it
does to the sight. ~Charles Blanc, Art in Ornament and Dress, "Personal
Adornment: Colours and Their Expression," 1875, translated from French
Good morning!
Today starts a new color challenge at The Outlawz Challenges with a monochromatic challenge from Ursula. Although her colors are shades or
orange, you can use any color.
Our sponsor this month is MariDigis but I am not using one
of her images this week due to some technical issues with coloring LOL ...
