It is my belief that the colors or sounds or sights that we react to in a visceral way go directly towards that right side of the brain, that is the spiritual, ethereal and deeply healing side of us. Unlike the left side, that is the logical side. When I was learning to quilt my teacher couldn't grasp my innate sense of color and design since here I was trained and educated in left brain activity, reacting in a very artistic right brained way. All my life the two have intertwined themselves. I paint with words to hopefully allow those who can't see as clearly with their artistic eye the beauty around them. Colors with all the nuances of tones and shades, combined with shapes can allow me and escape for hours!

@gingerw Lovely words.. well said. I understand completely since you've engaged my right brain... oops the left brain side just interrupted to correct my spelling... and so it goes.. back on track now and thinking about escaping. Remember how Mary Poppins and Burt jumping into a chalk painting and it became real. It's like that.
