I’ve been having so much fun this summer in the studio painting with blues. So many shades and hues, muted and bold, thick and thin, rich and dull. Blues always have a huge impact on one’s psychology. Even unexpected. They can uplift and caress. Blue jeans, the sky, a lake, icing on a cake. Why not celebrate freedom, sensitivity and imagination with blue?

Yves Klein, “At first there is nothing, then there is a profound nothingness, after that a blue profundity.”

Henri Matisse: “A certain blue enters your soul. A certain red has an effect on your blood pressure.”
