Color

You know how you don’t really know how complicted a song is until you try to play it?  Or you don’t know how complicated a house is until you try to build one. Color is the same. Out of all these artists's statements I’ve read, so many arrive at the same confession: Color drives them mad. They want to know how to mix the colors of nature, but looking deeply with eyes full of light, they see how complex it is, how subtle it is, and this drives them crazy. The sky’s color field is complicated and yet, a simple light blue or blue gray will work fine in communication. That’s what’s so interesting. The brain is easily fooled, but you can tell when the artist has spent hours and hours mixing and layering colors, putting as much light in the sky that they can. Glazing, manipulating. The eyes see tiny fields of shimmering light-waves, mixing. The soul sees this too, only the light waves are also oceans of mind.
