The World of Color
The mark is made
The paint is applied
It can be made to look
As if there is dept
But my choice is a flat space
Two dimensional
Without depth
How is this done
I am working with color
And color theory
If we are aware
We will see that some colors
Seem to recede
And some will advance
So how to keep them
On the same plane
Neither going back
Nor coming forward
I create a world
Where you can get lost
It seems the cool colors
Recede to the horizon
While warm colors
Want to come close
Snuggle next to you
Colors seem
To have a mind of their own
Follow their own will

Wonderful Annell! I love this painting in color and the depaths you went to describe the one/two dimensional aspects of it. Thank you so much for posting!
I love how your application of colour (in your artwork) alters perspectives Annell, giving the illusion of depth to a flat surface.
I quite happily snuggle up in them!
Anna :o]
There is much to explore in the light and the dark, the pale and the warm colours.........
The flatness of a canvas just calls out for colours and shapes, Annell. I enjoyed the description of your two-dimensional art, especially:
'It seems the cool colors
Recede to the horizon
While warm colors
Want to come close
Snuggle next to you'.
Thank you Toni, Loved the prompt!
Thank you Sherry.
Thank you Kim, I'm glad you enjoyed my poem.
You approached this prompt with the painter's eye. I love the way you have explained the theory of colours.
I really enjoy your unique take on the prompt. It was an interesting thought on how to create just two dimensions (since I can't draw a stick figure well).
Oh I love the thought of the warm colors coming close.
Color, it can speak so many things. There are days I seek the coolness of a color and others I like to wrap myself in the warmth of them. I so like where you too the prompt.
Kerry thank you so much for your comment.
Teresa, thank you so much for your comment, and of course you can draw, maybe someone told you once that you could not, but you can. You have to learn to love your own marks.
Dear Bjorn, that you for your comment.
Thank you Susie, I agree color is the element that we respond to emotionally, we love it or not.
Yes, they do! Raising the question to what extent we "like" colors in the same ways (for the same mostly unworthy reasons) we like people (or animals)...
No way to know why we say, "Oh I love that color, and I don't like that one." It is just so. Thanks Priscilla.
