Doors with Hints of Jade (17MARCH22)

Hello readers, this week’s doors are linking up with #WQW11 for GREEN and #SundayStills  for JADE.

All doors from Richmond, Virginia

“The human tongue is like wasabi: it’s very powerful, and should be used sparingly.”  ~John Green, author and motivational speaker (here)

 

 

“But the real question is not “what colors make green?” It is, “what type of green will you make by mixing a yellow and a blue?”

You see, as painters, we do not have an absolute yellow or blue. We have many different variations of blues and yellows…”   ~Dan Scott, artist (here)

See the purse to the right? Is that jade too?

“I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.” ~Grandma Moses, Painter

“Green is the colour of spring, of leaves on the trees and grass in the rain. So it’s no surprise, given the ubiquity of the colour green in the world of nature, that poets down the ages have written about this most evocative of colours. Here are ten of the very best poems about the colour green.”

Go to the Interesting Literature blog (here)to read the poems about green

There is a lot to take in here….so many GREENS!

“They’ll sell you thousands of greens. Veronese green and emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like; but that particular green? Never.” Pablo Picasso, artist 

The doors are subtly tucked behind the posts. The roof is such a perfect fit for the JADE theme.

“You do matter.

You have a place in this world.

You have purpose.

Use your talents and gifts for the glory of God.

Don’t be discouraged.

Always be humble and kind.

You make a difference.

Don’t be afraid to try new things.

You have a beautiful smile.

Someone needs your smile today. Do it more often.”

Renee Greene, author (here)
