Blues and Greens Mingling

Blues and Greens Mingling

First year in Junior High
Unsure, vulnerable, afraid

Art class....my favorite
Painting freely with cool colors
Blue and Green mingling
Luscious, beautiful, peaceful

Then the shattering words
My respected art teacher telling me
“Blue and green don’t go together,
They clash”

I crashed.
But I love those colors
My inner voice protested

Years went by
And I heeded her words

Much, much later
Blue and green escaped
And together broke free!

Mingling

God smiled.....

Blue Stellar

This is my most recent painting. I was playing with color and this image emerged. I felt it needed rocks and a softness so added the foreground. There seems to be a message but I'm not sure what it is, yet...
