What Is Your Color Personality?

Red symbolizes passion, love, action, courage, vitality...life.

Did you know? It is the 'warmest' color?

Did you know wearing a red accessory can boost your confidence? 

Decorating a room in neutrals, then adding a red pillow, draws the attention to the pillow immediately!

It is said that the color red has more personal associations than any other color...

Some people believe that red is the first color a baby sees.

Red is the color associated with the 'root chakra'...the root chakra deals with life at the level of practicality.

Red red red red red red.......

So, we know red is high-energy, blue is calming, yellow projects warmth and happiness...but, do you think your attraction to a color means you have the same qualities? After the litany of adjectives above, I'd like to think so...

There are many color quizzes; all a lot of fun to take...I personally like the ones on Squidoo! Log onto http://www.squidoo.com/colorquiz  !! Let me know what your results are. I'll post my results as well!

Thanks, and have a great day!

The Red Pick-Up Artist

Geronimo!

Ok, I'm doing it....wait a minute....here i go...I am leaping...right on the edge now....one more step...deep breath..."Geronimo!"

"I am an artist."
...and, I love the color red!

I don't have a favorite color...I love all colors! However, when I think of what color moves me---truly moves me...what color I gravitate towards...it is red. 

Silence is holy. divine messages can be heard in the silence. sweet spiritual connections. creative ideas. ssshhhhhhhhhhh...

~Recently, during a Silent Saturday at Unity, I began journaling about what it means to keep a true lent...one thought led to another, which led to another...words came to me faster than i could write--but, when i was done...it was very clear to me: I had to tell people my secret. I am an artist.
Oh, I know what you're thinking..."Michele has always loved to paint...take art classes, write poetry, take photos, make presents, decorate boxes, arrange flowers..." 
But, this isn't what I'm taking about--I'm talking about having the courage to actually affirm, with absolute truth, that in addition to being a wife, daughter, mother, mimi, friend, volunteer, real estate agent---that maybe even above all else...I am an artist!
~this is my way of saying thank you to God...and--This blog is being created to affirm that statement: "I AM an Artist"!.

Of course, I will write about art...
I will write about art shows. art walks. art galleries. art openings. art auctions.
art in Naples. art in New York. art in Paris. art in wherever-art-is.
I will write about other artists. other artists' work. other artists' blogs.

The red-thing just happened during that same silent meditation...spirit spoke to me...said, hey Michele, you love the color red...you are drawn to it. it makes you happy. it is a strong, passionate color. it motivates you. [I added that]

--Then I had this funny vision of myself cruising around town in Chip's bright red pick-up truck with these massive paint brushes hanging off the back...next thing you know I'm jotting down all the things in the world that i love that are red...I'm beginning to 'see red' everywhere I look...I mean, the world is mostly blue and green...and when you 'see red' it really gets your attention: tail lights, stop signs, no u-turns, exit signs, the flag on a mail-box...I sketched the Red Pick-Up Artist logo in minutes...zooooommm! I was off!

So, the whole thing makes perfect sense to me. I am a creative being.
I want to share and express my art...my love of art...and other artists love of art...amen.

I hope you will come along for the ride!
