The evenings are cooler and daylight is shorter,
here come the colors of autumn.
Soft opals, greys, lavender blues ,pale yellow and golds.

Contemporary impressionistic oil painting

Roses in blue

When speaking of roses and their colors,
red means love or romance,
 pink means admiration, and yellow is for a true friend .

The Color White around the globe

White is the traditional color worn by brides in the western world, as well as in Japan.
White is a color of mourning in China and parts of Africa.
It was the custom for the Queens of France to wear deuil blanc or "white mourning"
White was the color of deepest mourning among medieval European queens was white rather than black. This tradition survived in Spain until the end of the fifteenth century.
In Chinese culture, colors corresponded with the five primary elements, the directions, and the four seasons. White was associated with metal, west, and autumn.
A white flag is universally recognized as a symbol of truce.
The Japanese have six distinct terms to define whiteness.
The ancient Greeks wore white to bed to ensure pleasant dreams.

    Abstract Expressionistic Art

    Fragment 18x24
    Another in my abstract series.
    Last blog I wrote about Pollock and de Kooning. While reading about these two incredible artist,
    I came across Joan Mitchell. Way cool work! She hung out with de Kooning
    and other artists in the 60's, 70's and 80's. She used movement to paint large
    canvases.I would have liked to have
    known her, so I will research more and paint....
    stay tuned for more:)
