How wonderful! There is an International Colour Day<\/a>! Apparently proposed in 2008 by president of the Portuguese Colour Association, Maria Joao Durao, to the International Colour Association.<\/p>\n

Thank you Maria!<\/p>\n

I love color, can\u2019t get enough of it! Almost, no definitely, more than chocolate, which runs a close second. Anyway, who knew? I only found out today! And it just so happens that I, as a colour nut, a color aficionado, a colour fan, have been taking and collecting colourful photos for ages.<\/p>\n

I could have done a garden of color. But no, as an artist, \u00a0I see colour everywhere, and capture it for later enjoyment. Like chocolate. My eyes are attracted to colour in odd places like fire hydrants surrounded by bright yellow poles, to boxes of curtain rings found at a garage sale. Even a fan in my studio. Then there are things like wind socks, unique and colorful cars, even sewer covers. I could own these cars! Well the list goes on.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado… colour from a color addicted artist\u2019s point of view. \u00a0Enjoy. \u00a0Please.<\/p>\n
