blue.2 {self-portrait challenge}

blue 2


blue is (also), to me,
safety (inconsistent)
truth (truth)
warmth (distance)
clarity (aloof)
freedom (isolating)
coolness (wide)
creativity (muggy)
connection (puzzling)
music (quiet)
hope (cyclical)
blue is, to me,
home

Blue...for me...is calming, life, and reminds me of my baby boy. Blues has always been my favorite color. It is clearer to me now why that has always been so.

Lovely and simple and perfect. I can imagine this in a painting, surrounded by blue swirls, hanging in an artist's studio space!

Though there's no blue in your photograph, I can feel its coolness and contradictions.
