I am a senior art and biology major from the College of Saint Benedict's and Saint John's University. I am writing this blog to keep a record of my creative thoughts and processes as I explore the painting medium. I hope this blog becomes a place of reflection and inspiration for myself and others interested!

"Color Matters"
On one of this website's links, it brings up the idea that a color can change its appearance depending on the other color(s) it is near. For instance, red may look bright and vibrant beside black or blue while appearing to be more dull next to white or orange. This brought to mind the idea of how each person seems to have a color or a couple of colors that they feel complements them best, whether based on skin tone, hair color, eye color etc. In addition this idea of color may also explain why some people are uncertain of their eye color. One day their eyes may appear green, another blue and yet another grey, all due to the color of clothing they are wearing. I just found this idea to be intriguing and something that I think would be kind of fun to experiment with.
