Thalo Blue,as a color- and a word to me- have always been a deep, Dense,Bitter,Cold to slightly warm damp Place,Feeling, A true necessity in painting a nighttime sky or luscious seascape at dusk. The sky where it it is darkest just before dawn. That word sticks with me as a painter like blood it stains,and in oil or acrylic spreads and is basically hopeless to get out,except-maybe--over thousands of hot water washings. Still she will "shout,"Out you spot!…Out"like Lady MacBeth it is the Color of Guilt-hitching breaths taken in after a nightmare. Chemically Thalo-cyanine,it always has had poisonous overtones,With Thalo-cyanine Green,its Dense hidden jungle sister of strangulating Emerald Pythons in Green shadows that seemed to move behind tears of loss and primarily Terror. Something no one would be a young boy on safari with his rich family in the Congo. I must get a copy of your book-That color -alone : is getting under my skin. P.S. Done Any Painting?I believe you have more thn dabbled. Thalo is not as common as more common Cadmium brought to us by Bob Ross. In sincerity, Ron Sippel

Ron, you're not just a champion of colour; you're a champion of words. Yes I have painted. Yes, more than dabbled. And yes, I'd love it if you found a copy of THALO BLUE, my novel. I hope you enjoy it -- and discover all of it's varied undertones.j. //
