Colors . .

'Chestnuts n' Vanilla' - 36" x 48" - Oil on Canvas

'Aisha' - 30" x 4o" - Oil on Canvas

'Red sun' - 24" x 30" - Oil on canvas

'Bayou' - 30" x 40" - oil on canvas.

What are colors?

. . . the dictionary definition of colors is the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object, usually determined visually by measurement of hue, saturation, and brightness of the reflected light; saturation or chroma; hue.

Quite interesting . . hmm?

I don't know know about you but to a simple minded fellow like me colors come in tubes or cans as paint to be mixed and pushed around the canvas or any other surface you choose. . . simple isn't it?

I don't want to bother myself with the long definition, if it looks good on a painting . . it is good , if it doesn't work? mix another color. . . and just paint . . . which is what I do almost daily . . . and this blog is a journal I wish to use in telling you my experiences with colors albeit visually.
