Nino- I love the way you say that you looked into the blue sky, not at it. So true! Nothing is more involving than the feeling of being surrounded by immense vastness. Beautiful writing (and illustrations)!

Thank you so much, Thalia! Staring up into the blue vast sky is such a weird, yet beautiful and overwhelming (in a good sense) feeling, right?

I can so relate to this! I tend to avoid greens too because I find them too much visually. I live in rural Australia and it’s often in drought with winter grey grasses, open plains and big blue skies. Thanks for helping me see the connection of where I live and my colour choices. 😍

I had to move to a different hemisphere to make that connection. Funny how that works. And now I also understand why I am so attracted to paintings with deep blue and ochre colours.
