The meaning of Color and salt.
Today’s 5 Minute Friday word is Color… and well that makes me think of many things…
*how the different hues of skin color in our large family get us funny looks from people who need to figure us out..
*or I think of how I have synesthesia and it causes every touch to wash my brain in a color… how I read people as if they are a color…
*But what I have been concentrating the most on…is how salt effects my colors when I am painting. I am trying to interpret the meaning in it for me…and there is meaning. I can feel it.
So I keep painting…and spreading the salt and trying to see what is happening.

Very pretty and what a cute helper or fellow paint partyer you have there!
Oh she loves to paint…”peent momma? Peent?”.
Thank you for your compliment.

Do you and that adorable little one paint together? It looks like she has her own set of watercolors. The colors blend so magically for you!!!
Oh she has her own set… There is an endless collection of water paint sets in this house…but that one is hers.and there is no painting alone…they swarm.

The salt looks like ice crystals from here! Nice experiments.
I know I totally wanted to just leave the salt on the trees…like those science experiments where you” grow rocks”
T
oh so you thought of this yourself? hmmmm
No it’s old.. I just went a little nuts with it and experimented with different amounts.

Beautiful salt effects! Looks fun!
Happy PPF!!

I have never put salt in my paintings… I think it is time to try it 🙂
yes its great… I know I am supposed to “get” something from it… so I keep pouring the salt and trying to “See” something.

That tree painting is lovely, the streaky sunset and hopeful branches are beautiful.
ya know? I liked it much better with the salt still on it… it was a downer when I scraped all the salt off.
Thanks,
T
that is about the most intriguing thing I have ever read; reading people as a color.
whoa…really? 🙂 what is intriguing about it?
I guess it is…although the day I found out other people don’t experience the same thing I was dumbfounded… I kept asking my friend…so what do you “see” in your brain when it happens…and she said…”nothing”… and I thought that was sad so I started asking lots of people and they all said the same thing….then years later I saw something on 60minutes and I had a name for it.

Your little painter is adorable!! 🙂 I love what the salt is doing to your paintings. It is so interesting and beautiful. I love experimenting like that!
yeah I dunno…it’s like painting isn’t “enough” I need to constantly be in a state of experimentation…with no real end result it mind…just to see
🙂
