Which is my favourite? I really couldn't say, and there are better questions to ask: the mixed colours in each session are linked, but would you use all of them in one painting ... and if so, in what proportion? Would you add any other colour, either as a background, or for an accent? Would you also mix up intermediate hues, or further tints and shades?
I find this a wondrous piece of work. I find it interesting to think of the end words and what might be in between in relation to the colour assigned. I love the noted pages with their colour ends. This is all thought-provoking stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun to view Margaret, a whole new interpretation of the phrases "colourful language". Thank you for being so methodical.
ReplyDeleteNever has a dictionary been so stimulating. As Olga says the combination of the end words and the colour names is really exciting.
