Our tenant rabbit eats blue flowers. :-) I have photos of them (and him) on my blog to prove it. <BR/><BR/>I was a little girl who loathed pink and loved blue. Lately I've been going through an orange craze, but I rarely stay put on one favourite colour long. <BR/><BR/>I've looked at all your chakra paintings. They're wonderful. I do chakra readings (not professionally) and I've recently been wondering about trying to put down what I see in pictures rather than words, especially when I see angels and totems. <BR/><BR/>But I'm not an artist on your level. I was kind of a C grade art student. I passed, but I never was outstanding (as you very much are!). Words have always been my first and best medium of expression.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284595314525240584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-16199933611675784632008-09-14T12:27:00.000+01:002008-09-14T12:27:00.000+01:00Rima, it's so beautiful again! i absolutely feel w...Rima, it's so beautiful again! i absolutely feel with you about 'rousing' blue but this 'tired' autumnal blue is one of my favourites in paintings. this blue exceedingly assimilate to your other wonderful colours and add to your art a fantastic mood that i love so much!krisztina maroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07561779562021102589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-43100211706498403432008-09-11T00:29:00.000+01:002008-09-11T00:29:00.000+01:00Oh this resonates!

I rarely wear blue & I shy away from blue in my home, with the one exception of blue bottles on the windowsill. For some reason I only like blue when it's deep & transparent, like the twilight sky. I have an absolute aversion to light blues.<BR/><BR/>I've also noticed that I'm rarely happy with my paintings when they include blue, though other folks seem to like it & I continue to try it from time to time when I think the subject calls for it. I think your roughened, muted treatment is the perfect solution.Curious Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180271950246123614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-66037424661046535482008-09-10T12:45:00.000+01:002008-09-10T12:45:00.000+01:00I find this painting beautiful yet melancholic.. b...I find this painting beautiful yet melancholic.. blue is often used to portray sadness or sorrow and your painting conjures up these emotions for me..kathy harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869825472880723172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-40650585437708149572008-09-10T03:43:00.000+01:002008-09-10T03:43:00.000+01:00An interesting note, there are some schools of tho...An interesting note, there are some schools of thought that say that not liking certain (chakra) colors is highly correlated with 'issues' we have around that particular chakra.
