Colors (Apr. 5)

When you look at a painting you begin to see the color choices that the artist made. Often times there is a great deal of blending that occurs and even layering of coloras in given instances. It is amazing to think of all the possible colors that one could use either in art or simply as a description of nature. Then to think that beyond the visible colors that we can see there are even more colors that exist. Some animals are said to not be able to see colors in the same way that humans do leaving one to ponder the question what colors do we not see. What do they really look like to someone who can see those colors. This is not taking an electronic devise and turning off filters and what not, but actually seeing these colors. What is even more amazing is that we are allowed to see the colors that we do see. Part of the wonder and amazement that humans find in nature is the amazing way that colors are what they are. Think of a sunset for instance, or even a rainbow. It really isn't the same thing without the color. The eye in the way that is accepts color and the brain in the way that it interprets color is simply amazing.
