GREEN:

“Oak leaves waving from the limbs of a tree, grass underfoot, pine needles glistening with dew. Green is nature, the flora that grows from the earth, nourished by sunlight and fed by rain. Parsley, sage, thyme. Green is an herbaceous taste that tingles the tongue with savor. A combination of blue and yellow, a complement of red. Green is a secondary hue that has permeated the history of painting: Mrs. Arnolfini’s enveloping gown; the forests of Poussin and the waterlilies of Monet; Matisse’s stripe of a shadow and Kelly’s purist field of color; Van Gogh’s anxious landscapes and Salman Toor’s queer acidic spaces. Camouflage: protection or aggression? Verdigris: decay or patination? Phlegm, mold, corrosion. Green is organic and sickly, a sign of the need for a cure. Patriotism, eco-nationalism, spirituality. Green is a symbol in the hearts and minds of the People. Celadon, emerald, moss. Green is style and sophistication.” – Author Unknown
