Rainbow Ripples

This is my color therapy for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) 

caused by lots and lots and lots of RAIN. 

 

 

I'm glad we have rain . . . 

but the gray, cold, dampness does tend to make me gloomy. 

I wanted to see the bright yellow rays of sunshine again!

Here are some paintings and color studies of what I call "rainbow ripples." 

I also call them 8, because they look like the number 8, 

and 8 turned sideways is infinity. 

Everyone who knows me, knows about my rainbow obsession. 

Bright colors make me happy!

 

I love the sense of expanding, opening, radiating. 

Ripples, rainbows, light, color and sound waves . . . 

all represent energy moving out into space.

 

These are the first 2 rainbow ripples paintings that I did in 2008. 

In the first paintings there were swimmers, swimming into infinity. 

Now I prefer just the abstract rainbow ripples by themselves.

 

 

I love making these paintings!

Also . . . 

My sweetie brought me a wonderful gift to cheer me up!

A book on colors and pigments, and their meanings and uses.

 

A set of watercolor pencils! 

Plus, more drawing pencils . . .

As soon as this rain ends, 

I'm going to go out and try out my new pencils to do some watercolor on location!
