A Colour from the Studio Drawer

I sit down, and all my ideas vanish—even the ones that had just popped into my head as new projects to create.

Then, in that moment of silence, I discovered something amazing: a texture beneath my hand that surprised and delighted me! It’s an incredible feeling when I touch the delicate little flower my daughter gave me. It’s so beautiful, even though it’s just a tiny flower with minuscule, shaded petals. That colour really catches the eye! It’s as if it’s saying, “Look at me!” thanks to its vibrant and translucent nature.

I can’t wait to use this colour in my next painting!
