Brown...brun...summer of color...

Hey .. yeah ... the brown color of hot chocolate, coffee, melted caramel, rich earth, sand ... just to name a few ... And yet I am not attracted to this color for my art projects ... I would say that it's very rare that I wear this color, yet is present in my life every day ... maybe I'm too accustomed to the color of my eyes, those of my husband and my children ... when we are rich in that color, you get used to, it is considered acquired ...

For this page of my book of colors, I chose a picture of me that reminds me that prior to hurt me back, I loved dancing and I was part of a troup of oriental egyptian dancers that won a gold medal in a competition in Quebec last year ... I took a year off to fix my back and my right shoulder, for the moment I am not yet ready to begin ... We'll see in the fall, but I do not really think to go back...

In this brown wave, I designed my page of art journal and then suddenly I thought about a phrase that made me think about a time in my life when I had no secret per person and I subsequently changed the sentence ... he said to me: If you have 21 secrets say only 20 ones for who you want but keep still in 1 for yourself,it is better that way ... the secret is in the envelopp...what do you think about that ??




Hey oui...le brun...la couleur chaude du chocolat, du café, du caramel fondant, de la terre riche, du sable...pour n'en nommer que quelques uns...Et pourtant je ne suis pas attirée par cette couleur pour mes projets d'art...Je dirais même que c'est très rare que je porte cette couleur, qui pourtant est présente dans ma vie de tous les jours...peut-être que je me suis trop habituée à la couleur de mes yeux, à ceux de mon mari et de mes enfants...quand on est riche de cette couleur, on s'y habitue, on la considère comme acquise...

Pour cette page de mon livre des couleurs, j'ai choisi une photo de moi qui me rappelle qu'avant de me blesser au dos, j'aimais la danse et je faisais parti d'une troupe qui a gagné une médaille d'or à une compétition au Québec l'an dernier...J'ai pris une année de congé pour réparer mon dos et mon épaule droite, pour le moment je ne suis pas encore prête à recommencer...On verra à l'automne, mais je n'y songe pas vraiment...

Dans cette vague brune, j'ai conçu ma page d'art journal sans trop de conviction et puis soudain, j'ai repensé à une phrase qui m'a fait réfléchir à une époque de ma vie où je n'avais pas de secret pour personne et j'ai par la suite changé...La phrase qu'il m'a dite : Si tu as 21 secrets, dis-en 20 à qui tu veux mais garde-en toujours 1 pour toi toute seule, c'est mieux ainsi...Le secret est dans l'enveloppe...qu'en pensez-vous??
