In the past, I've spotlighted blue, yellow, brown, green, and orange. Is that all? I'm pretty sure I haven't featured red yet. For an interesting look at cultural feelings about the color red, visit Color Matters.

The young Queen Elizabeth I (here in about 1563) liked to wear bright reds, before she adopted the more sober image of the "Virgin Queen."

Fascinating theme this week, Tabatha.
ReplyDeleteEspecially loved the Brush with Carp and Dragon. I'm guessing the cap comes off to reveal the brush?
And I'll tell you that the emotion I would feel would *not* be sadness if faced with an angry Siamese Fireback!
The Color Matters web site has some very interesting facts. I've made it a favorite. :-)
Love the post on red!
