The first pictures of the earth from space showed a blue and white jewel shining out of the blackness. It was like seeing patches of blue in the sky after a difficult storm, blue patches that gave us hope, or seeing rare blue flowers on an ancient forest floor, or the sparse blue iris — a surprise in the dry desert. Blue is the color of promise, the color of hope.
I agree with you about the color blue, Ethel. (It’s my favorite color — one reason I love your paintings!) Blue is a healing color. Thank you for this one.
