Oh so true!

“Color possesses me.

I don’t have to pursue it. It will pursue me always, I know it.”

Paul Klee

Whether its test strips of colors perched on my studio table, or paint tubes scattered like gumdrops across the floor.

Mere Shadows, yet beguiling

 

Or perhaps,  the stunning colored shadows of a vase upon my wall…….. they are always there.

Its true.

The act of creation, in any media is a fascinating and magical process. I simply love to create. Expressing in color, line, tone, texture - as if, they were words upon a page. Creating a uniquely me, interpretation. Enjoy More of my "one-of-a-kind" expressive art at society6.com/debiriley and, redbubble.com/people/debijriley/shop

      3. hmm…..now I am thinking that I would like to purchase LB because (so many reasons!) when I need and want more delicacy, like you said Indigo is a powerhorse and with my dramatic side, well, sometimes I don’t know when to hold back those reins! Okay….just have to ask when you wrote DS you aren’t referring to Daniel Smith but to a color that we talked about? or you mean that DS makes LB with the above color combo? sounds like code doesn’t it? lol

    1. thanks Nico so much – Klee has such a fine sense of balance in his work. Lines, but with boldness and feeling…. to be swept away. He is one of my favs too. Thank you, and peace & good blessings!
