“Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.” -Paul Gauguin
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way.”= Georgia O’Keeffe
“There’s a reason we don’t see the world in black and white.” – Celerie Kemble
“This is a story about the color blue, and like blue, there’s nothing true about it. Blue is beauty, not truth. ‘True blue’ is a ruse, a rhyme; it’s there, then it’s not. Blue is a deeply sneaky color.” – Christopher Moore, Sacré Bleu: A Comedy d’Art
To my surprise, I had not just doodled, I had prayed (I drew new shapes and names of each friend and focused on the person whose name stared at me from the paper). I had though OF each person as I drew but not ABOUT each person. I could just sit with them in a variation on stillness. I could hold them in prayer.”
― Sybil MacBeth, Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God
Rich colours actually look more luminous on a grey day, because they are seen against a somber background and seem to be burning with a lustre of their own. Against a dark sky all flowers look like fireworks.”
― Chesterton G.K.
