...the arrival of 2017 it's a time of quiet reflection, and what better colour to accompany that than the peaceful ease of the colour
blue.
From journal pages
to Gelli prints,
blue peeks out everywhere in the studio.
I've turned hand-painted papers into blue flowers,
and created Wingdings with it.
It shows up in heavily textured pieces
and in those that are quietly behaving themselves.
Blue philosophizes
and plays well with green and a host of other colours.
What a perfect colour with which to end a chaotic year, don't you think?
Here's hoping that all your wishes for 2017 come true, in a big way. xo
You are right - blue is a great colour for quiet reflection. And, the year has been chaotic I can only hope that next year will be better. Happy New Year Win!

DeleteOh, those cool blues are just what we need in Adelaide right now!
ReplyDeleteI suspect you're baking in that summer heat, Tracy...I know we feel the same way here when it hits, but right now I could use a lot of it. We've snow, snow and more snow, with icy winds and streets...most unusual for our corner of BC.
DeleteThe blues never had it so good wonderful blues. I especially adore the one that looks like layered rain. A gorgeous backdrop for a collage that I will remember...I may be back begging.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome to use any of them, any time Deann...I'd be honoured knowing that a piece of my work found its way into yours! xo
