Colour
Creative Every Day theme for April is 'Colour'. I asked myself what are colours to me? First thought in my mind which appeared was : colours are feelings, colours are emotions. I always strongly believed and felt that we can describe not only thoughts but also emotions by colours. This what I am trying to do when I paint. I use colours which describe my feelings, my soul, my energy channels. Sometimes I do not know even why I choose to use particular colour I just feel it in me. During painting my last portrait an idea and need of using colours which are somewhere in my mind and heart now came to me. There is lots of blue in me now, lots of dark blue. There is also lots of yellow, orangy, red colours behind me. These colours are like warm and protective blanket for my spirit. I am so grateful that we can communicate by using colours as well. Colours speak, represent and symbolise. Colurs are another beautiful gift from life.

I love color in everything.
ReplyDeleteAga, I always read and reread what you post. You always have something important to tell me and I want to be sure to listen.
ReplyDeleteYour self-portrait is beautiful and I can see and feel the protective blanket behind you. This is a wonderful piece of work.
When my husband was sick I seemed to paint with brighter colors. Now, that things are back to "normal" I seem to be attracted to softer colors once again. I am thinking that during the trying time I needed the energy of the bright colors and now that things are better I am happiest with the peaceful feeling that color can bring to me. Thank you for helping me to sort this out.
Yes, beautiful portrait with a warm sun on her back, nice paint!

Really thoughtful words about colour Aga. Love your portrait!! May colour always envelop your spirit with love and protection. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to color as emotion and I too have the same feeling I pick a color because it calls to me and I am not sure why. Love your deep blues and your hot protective colors. Happy PPF xox
ReplyDeleteI really liked this post. You are so right... color is such a gift and how we feel it rather than just see it. Lovely portrait too.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colors in the background! Really makes me look at the subject!
ReplyDeleteYou use colour very instinctively Aga, your work speaks emotion through the colours you choose, Beautiful .
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous work..so serene and poetic..blissful..wonderful visual experience! Yes I love how colors are pure expression..emotion and symbolic clues to what is happening within us..
ReplyDeleteI have had experiences on my journey many times where colors have come in and healed and shifted me..awakened me..ignited me..colors are magical!lately I have been needing subtle soft colors..other times..bold and dramatic..it is amazing what we need at different times on the path! Beautiful art..super gorgeous words and sharings! thanks for sharing your spirit and shining your magic!

Happy PPF and hugs

such rich, beautiful colors they are! Feels so warm and lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely, rich combination of colors!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the protecting blanket of warm colours :-) I use colours quite intuitively most of the time. I chose them after how I feel about them.
ReplyDeleteThe detail photo you posted has many of the colours that I really like, the earthen tones. I like to use them a lot and then add sprinkles of colours.
I wish you a happy PPF and lots of colour in your life
