Color….color…coloriscious…







The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
~Marcus Aurelius

I may have mentioned before that I have synesthesia




a melding of the senses…of sorts.





Words and numbers and letters all have a correlating color

I remember names and places and dates… first by the color or colors




they construe in my mind





and they blend together and form other colors...to keep me on my toes.

When I was introduced to Artist Michelle Armas’s work a few months ago...

I found it compelling. Almost musical in it’s flirtation with color.




She told me that

she also has a cacophony of color swirling around in her own mind


…she too has synesthesia.


“ It is how I do simple math...green plus purple equals black!” says Michelle

makes complete sense to moi.


yep.

So…now I have a happy inducing Armas piece of work in my home.


An Armasm hee


And it has already enjoyed a few different rooms...

I imagine it will keep moving around leaving a happy little wake of color behind.

I have seen her work throughout blogland….Allison at My little Happy Place recently acquired one…

yum

As did Jenny at MFAMB








If you are looking for a shot of color…some happy…a cacophony of thought.
