Here are a couple of windows to open if you’d like to relax- and as a bonus I’ve set a portrait in the middle that I ran across this weekend while ‘surfing’ through various galleries.
It’s really wonderful painting and I hope you enjoy taking it in as much as I did.

RDP Friday: COBALT
Consider these works of art and then ask yourself if you agree with Vincent Van Gogh in the quote below.
I agree because from an ocean of blue to just a touch of blue, the subjects in all of these pieces seem to be drawing a breath from the world around them. It makes the work feel alive and gives you a sense of movement within the frame .

Cobalt is a divine color and there is nothing as fine for putting an atmosphere round things. Carmine is the red of wine and is warm and lively like wine. The same goes for emerald green too. It’s false economy to dispense with them, with those colors. Cadmium as well.
