TARA + THOMOND Online Class Wisdom

I love colours inspired by nature. The changing of the seasons with autumn leaves, spring brings out a burst of colour, bulbs appear seemingly out of nowhere. Here in Australia where summers are sometimes very harsh, the earth can become so hot and dry that all the grass dies off and everywhere looks parched and brown - even this has it's own beauty. Also I am intrigued by the science of colour and how that blends into daily living - the light passing through water to produce a rainbow for example or the magic of the changing colours of sunrise and sunset. I have hanging in various places around the house where sunlight enters, crystals that show me at various times of the day the wonder of nature ... a kaleidoscope of colour exploding onto the surrounding walls - rainbows everywhere � Jean P (Robinson)

I lean toward calming hues- I love shades of blue and green. I get my color therapy out in the natural world. It is truly a wonder each season while out on walks and hikes to see the changes. In spring the green is vivid, so green I’ve said many times it almost hurts my eyes after the grey of winter. New growth, leaves unfurling, green things poking up through the earth, fresh ferns in little tight green balls- it never gets old. In summertime the wild rugosa roses bloom by the many hues of blue ocean. The first weekend of July is always celebrated by a beautiful display of pink mountain laurel in the woods. Fall brings a firework of color, a last blast before the long winter. I always feel as though nature is saying, here, I’m giving you a gift of blazing red and orange and yellow before you hunker down for the winter. Truly amazing and I enjoy every second of these offerings, every season. Julie C. (Robinson)
