THE POWER OF COLOUR

Much has been written on colour.

Colour is the memory of childhood, love and grief. Blue for the oceans and sky. Singing the blues, feeling blue. Green for envy and natures new growth. Yellow for the sun , daffodils. Grey skies. Black as the crow, widow spider, spiritual devotion. Pink for the heart, a baby girl, a mothers love, tropical sunsets Orange for a forest fire, a setting sun. Red for heat, sex, danger and a beautiful rose.

I love colour and the sensations it creates. Colour radiates energy. It fills me when I am empty and takes me on my next adventure. To me colour is music, fabulous food, always nourishing. It takes me out of my head and into my heart.
