Mother Earth has performed her magic again and has taken us [in Minnesota] from two-tone-winter and transformed into 30 shades of green in four weeks. I love this transition. I love the faint yellow fringes of emerging leaves. I watch their progress every day...I just don't know what to do with them in paint.
Shouldn't there be more colors describing "green" in the crayon box for young artists? Colors like: yellowy green, pond reflection green, cool greeny shadow green, warm greeny shadow green, not to be confused with purpley shadow green, etc. Green is very complex and deserves a description with more expression and flare then---green. It should have two syllables, at least! Perhaps Verde works better!
Let this post serve as a humble retraction of the final statement from the previous post.
