Thank you, Traude for such positive feedback! Yes, just imagine how much one could do – or create – in a 36 hour day! I also look forward to getting together soon.

Ellen, you are such an inspiration of creativity and of pursuing your dreams. It is amazing how many things you did and still do. You are creative in so many areas, I can imagine that you would love to have 36 hours a day. Your biggest dream I share – a peaceful world where the “sameness” is the most important factor. Looking forward to meeting you soon again! Love, Traude

THINK APRIPEACHARINE

One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite –that particular peach is but a detail. Pablo Picasso This blog is a short exploration of three fairly similar colors named after fruits: apricot, peach and nectarine. Hence the title. Is apricot really a color? Yes it is – even though […]

Jill, Linda and John, how wonderfully you all rejoice in the vibrancy, emotionality and diversity of a world filled with color! Thank you for your comments.

“From the colour of art, to the colour of the Spring flowers, to the colour of sound!”
From your wonderfully vibrant paintings, Ellen P; to the diverse spectrum of flower species blooming across our garden in anticipation of new growth in the Summer; to recent memories of Evensong in Westminster Abbey, with the soaring sound of the choristers filling the soaring Late Gothic architecture!

Loved the post. And agree 100%. My home is filled with color inside and out. It makes life beautiful, peaceful and restful. I find myself thanking God for a place of beauty to reside. I love jewel tones and the rooms of my home and outdoor living space are filled with it. If some unsolicited gloom comes my way all I need to do is to look at a wall and find peace.

Ellen Palestrant’s love of vibrant, energetic, harmonious, and unabashedly layered dimensions of colors seen in her paintings are also found in her descriptive language in her fantastic work of literary genius The World of Glimpse. Ellen invites us to imagine the “any colored sky”…where time is understood through colors…and Chapter 1 begins with the words: “it was five to pink”. Color abounds in this world where energetic creative Glimpsibles live, and is contrasted with the lackluster world of the greedy and covetous Drooma of Sooma Sooma. Color for Ellen is a whole philosophical realm , where a person’s mood can affect their perception of colors.In a conversation between a Glimpsible named Perceptilly and another named Spunktaneous,she states: ” The colors you perceive are entirely you, and each time you look, they’re different. Depends on your moodprint which affects the glow you give to color”. (pg 101) So my advice to everyone is to let go, imagine, dream, and enjoy, the glorious world of colors Ellen has created and then shared with all of us.
