Once you have introduced colour into your surroundings you will never be able to live without it.  

  A SENSE OF COLOUR

‘SPRING IS TENDER, GREEN YOUNG CORN AND  PINK APPLE BLOSSOMS.  AUTUMN IS THE CONTRAST OF THE YELLOW LEAVES AGAINST VIOLET TONES.  WINTER IS THE SNOW WITH BLACK SILHOUETTES BUT NOW, IF SUMMER IS THE OPPOSITION OF BLUES AGAINST AN ELEMENT OF ORANGE, IN THE GOLD BRONZE OF THE CORN, ONE COULD PAINT A PICTURE WHICH EXPRESSED THE MOOD OF THE SEASONS IN EACH OF THE CONTRASTS OF THE COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS……….’
