Almost everyone has a favorite color, do you? Years of watching and listening to creative people have brought me to that conclusion. We know that our favorite is often influenced by our eye color.
So, when it's time to start a new painting, or project, do you automatically go to your favorite? These can also be called our "comfort" colors. It's the one we go to when we aren't sure where to start. The color may develop into our "signature color" when people know us by the color. "Sue must have painted that, it's blue." There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a favorite color, but sometimes creativity beckons us to move out of our favs from time to time.
There is a whole psychology in the study of color, it is a fascinating subject! We will visit the topic again. In the meantime, I feel validated about loving shades of aqua, especially since it is also the Tiffany signature color. Do you like it too? Or, do you like it more because it is Tiffany? Interesting to think about. Here's the story:

Im so pleased to have found your blog.
When you spend most of your time in the shed painting in isolation, it's great to find like-minded individuals online.
