St. Henri: The Palette of Spring

The bright pigments of the blossoms, and the rich variations of new green.  Nature provides the palette for each season.

Blue and Brown make Grey

When I was young I wanted colouring books without dark thick black lines outlining the objects. (I finally did have one – of animals! – with faint grey lines, so that no lines showed when you were done.) There are no outlines in life, one thing ends where the other begins, even if the other is the sky or the wall. The colour and shadow.
