Taking the survey was a little bit frustrating because I can't put into words what one particular color means to me. I see a color and I like the color that's it. I don't have much a deep or emotional connection with a certain shade. It's just a shade I like. Half of my answers I named a color and the other half my answers were "none". For my favorite color is dark grey .Morning color was yellow,least favorite color was fuchsia, and the color for sexiness was dark blue, which I picked because I have a friend who looks really good in dark blue.
My choice that matched the results was for good luck, which was green and that was about it. I can't think of colors when I think about deity, being dependable, or pure. The ones I did feel good about was my choice of yellow for happy and green for good luck. I chose green for good luck because it of luck of the Irish, four leaf clover, and St. Patrick"s Day. Green, to me, has been the color for good luck, Now, with yellow for happy I can explain this choice. Yellow is the color of the sun and the sun shines bright to make everything around us grow. When the sun's out I see how pretty the grass is , how blue the sky is with or without clouds, and watching the children be happy as they play in the park without a care in the world. I walk down the street and notice things I haven't noticed before because I usually ride the bus but the sun makes me want to take a walk. I see a diner that I want to try or a bike path I make want to take a walk on. I see the flowers are blooming and don't get me started on the lakefront. I love to people watch and the lake seeing people enjoy themselves. I take a break from the stress and worry and just enjoy people, places, and things. I can live in the moment, I become more mindful. Yellow is also the color for tweety bird. My collection makes me happy.https://www.instagram.com/p/BSw-3RNh1ux/?taken-by=wondarawherry

The TedTalk gave me a sense that color has meaning and we have to figure what colors say to us and what's the emotional and intellectual connection. From the text we realize that choosing the right colors is important to express one's vision more clearly. Like when you make a sign, the colors have to work together to properly bring what you want to express to light. From the start I fought to give colors meaning but writing this blog makes me realize is that colors mean a lot.

The art that I chose is an oil painting by Shelby Keefe. (copy of link above) Of all the art work that I saw I could relate to this the most because pictures of nature seem to calm my nerves. I have alot of things going on like being a parent to an autistic child, caring for my mentally challenged sister, running a house, family members that I don't really trust. It can all be too much to handle. I need to get away and a trip to nature of any sort helps clear my mind and catch my breathe. Growing up I always loved going to the lake and look at the water and just focus on the movement of it. The water would have waves going back and forth that would put me in a mindset of peace and stillness. Looking up at the clear blue sky was a sense of wonder for me. I wish I could fly and go through all the clouds into whatever secret world would take me away from my current world. Then as I got older I would venture out on those bicycle paths in wooded areas. I would pretend that I was in the woods where trees were tall enough to touch the sky..
This painting is simple in the sense there are just enough colors that wouldn't blind you. I mean there isn't too many different colors that would distract you from noticing others things like how wide the water flows and how clouds have a pattern that draws you to the sky and see the mountains that look close but are really far away..I could just take a deep breathe and wish the feeling of at peace would last forever. This is a wonderful look at God's creation. Just beautiful.
