Colors Change

It is so important for me to travel. As the light changes, so do the ideas and palates in my mind. The weekend was spent being deeply shallow: by the beach in palm beach. However I feel blue, that beautiful aquamarine blue, is becoming a more important part of what I want to use in the coming months. In the book Swanns Way, Proust talks about the arrival of different fruits through spring and summer and how anticipated the blossoms and bounty was. Today, we are not really aware in many cases when cherries arrive, because we have them shipped in all year. This weekend has been anticipated because I have not really seen the bright clean blues of spring till now, it has been a wait. The weekend will be my first trip to Charleston in some time. I do hope to be fortunate enough to see the soft light I remember, it always makes me think of moonstone.
