Textures from pixlr and picmonkey Colour Me....a poem by Sneha Murali Colour me beautiful, colour me wild Colour me loved, colour me mild Colour me red yellow green blue Colour me a tinge, colour me hue He said, She Bled. He lied, She cried He said 'paint me red' She said 'colour me dead' He sped, she pled. He washed colours with hate instead Colour me simple, colour me plain, colour me before I'm erased again Rubbed, dubbed, snubbed and scrubbed Outline me before love fills me up Before pain is painted on my canvas Before hurt is stained on my facade Colour me strong, colour me long Colour me temper, colour me wrong He cant be; He wont be my dismay Broken brush and bristles, faded away Colour me beautiful, not just beautiful But lovely, pretty, nitty, gritty, graceful Colour me rainbow, colour me trance Colour me just one, just one more chance.

DALE CHIHULY, Artist Born in 1941 in Tacoma, Washington, Dale Chihuly was introduced to glass while studying interior design at the University of Washington. After graduating in 1965, Chihuly enrolled in the first glass programme in the country, at the University of Wisconsin. He continued his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he later established the glass program and taught for more than a decade. In 1968, after receiving a Fulbright Fellowship, he went to work at the Venini glass factory in Venice. There he observed the team approach to blowing glass, which is critical to the way he works today. In 1971, Chihuly cofounded Pilchuck Glass School in Washington State. With this international glass center, Chihuly has led the avant-garde in the development of glass as a fine art. His work is included in more than 200 hundred museum collections worldwide. He has been the recipient of many awards, including twelve honorary doctorates and two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. The photo shown was taken at the Seattle exhibition which opened in 2012, and is ongoing.

Paint texture from Photoscape Carmina Burana ~ O Fortuna | Carl Orff ~ André Rieu Such a wonderful dramatic piece, one of my favourites youtu.be/GD3VsesSBsw Tulips. The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love. Like many flowers, different colors of tulips also often carry their own significance. Red tulips are most strongly associated with true love, while purple symbolizes royalty. The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine. White tulips are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. Variegated tulips, once among the most popular varieties due to their striking color patterns, represent beautiful eyes. The tulip originated over ten decades ago in Persia and Turkey, where it played a significant role in the art and culture of the time. Most likely commenting on the Turkish tradition of wearing tulips in one’s turban, Europeans mistakenly gave tulips their name, which comes from the Persian word meaning turban. As Europeans began taking to tulips, the flower’s popularity spread quickly, particularly in the Netherlands where a phenomenon dubbed tulip mania set in at one point during the 17th century. Tulips became so highly-prized that prices were sent soaring and markets crashing. Tulips are now grown throughout the world, but people still identify cultivated varieties as "Dutch tulips." @wikipedia
