Well,@ginger, Volunteer Mentor. ..You never cease to amaze me. Playing with your colors, much like our Creator played with colors when He/They designed the changes of aeasons.

Playing with color is something that makes us happy. As children, we always thrilled at the beginning of a new school year, in receiving that brand new box of crayons.

As we got older, somewhere along the way, it became "immature" or even "childish ."

I recommend that we get over that foolishness and go crazy with color in whatever way suits our fancy. My painting will likely never win any awards. But if it helps free my spirit at all, then it needs to be part of my self care plan.

Love learning more about you and the things you do to free your spirit.

Love and light,
Mamacita

@mamacita I love color! Any grouping of things will get me gobsmacked and lost. The paint aisle in a big box store, all the lovely paint chips! A fabric or yarn store. The multitude shades of green on a grove of trees, then add in the blooms or fruit in those trees. For a couple years I worked in a commercial sewing thread company, in the garment district of Los Angeles. We had aisles and cartons of sewing thread on cones. I got real good at matching thread for fabric that the people came in with. The detail and close observation sleeves right in with being an autie.

Have a marvelous Monday,
Ginger
