What a Colorful World

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. ~Claude Monet


A favorite saying by a favorite artist depicted on my favorite umbrella.

What a colorful world we live in!

Color has been on my mind since the brilliant summer colors have faded and will soon be replaced by fall ones (I hope!). I am so grateful that our world is filled with color, and apparently a lot of other people are as well, judging by the number of quotes you can find about it. Here are a few that I especially like.

Red is passion-lit, orange is flowerageous, yellow is suntastic, pink is lipsensual, green is lifebursting, blue is skyful, purple is berrydancing, gray is cloudrainy. ~Terri Guillemets
