Moon

(Entry 56 - 16. 07. 2019 )

Ultramarine blue with a dash of black

On the dark side of the moon

Cool yellow with a dash of white

On the bright side of the moon

The rest of the night sky

Any shades of yollow & blue in between

Would do justice to it

I can already visualise the picture

Nowadays painting &colour mixing

Rules my days, all day, every day

Sunny, cloudy, rainy

Rosy, glary, merky, be a challenge!

According to my landscape painting experience

Days require a lot of white

Nights require a lot of black

And the rest of the day, in between

One colour takes a bit of challenge

Without which all paintings would look dull

That colour is red

It took me 6 months to actually get a grasp of

Be it days, be it nights

If red is missing, you would notice it

It does not require the trained eyes

Anyone can tell something is lacking

Now that I have experimented with the red

It really does add extra dimension to the painting

Familiar with the colour wheel thoroughly

Has fundamentally changed the way I paint now

Music is the circle of fifth

English language is the alphabet

Mathmetics is the roman numeros

Painting is the colour wheel
