color journal :: all together now

I am finding this squared cycle of seasonal color very encouraging today and not just because all the blocks are finally pieced together.

White, gray and brown will eventually turn to green and then it will turn brown and then white again. Over and over and over.

  1. this is extremely
    SATISFYING to look upon. Satisfying in that there is a contented Pleasure to looking, the
    body quiets and recognizes the movement. i start in the lower right and go to the left. i
    stop at the corner 4 squares and rest before going on. i do this a few times then go to
    the Center and REST.

    1. I am so glad, grace. I am pleasantly surprised at the gradual blending of one into another with them all together.

  2. The gray background stands up so well to the seasonal cycle...supporting without competing. The whole thing is lovely.

    1. I really like the gray too. It's a rich gray and it may show up in other things I like it so much.

  4. I love reading about your intent.
    However, even without knowing the story behind this piece, it still satisfies.

    1. The change from one season to another, from snow to mud to seedling to plant to food for someone or some thing, everything whirling around over and over again. It has everything to do with what I want to make. I am encouraged that a fairly simple gathering of squares can say it pretty well.
