“The colors are stunning. In a single view, I see - looking out at the edge of the earth: red at the horizon line, blending to orange and yellow, followed by a thin white line, then light blue, gradually turning to dark blue and various gradually darker shades of gray, then black and a million stars above. It's breathtaking.” LightEarthStarsBlackLinesDarkSpaceWhiteViewsMillionsColorRedBlueEdgesVariousHorizonGrayShadeYellowOrangeSpace ExplorationStunningBreathtakingShades Of GrayDark BlueLight Blue Author:William C.

“The form of my painting is the content. My work is made of single or multiple panels: rectangle, curved, or square. I am less interested in marks on the panels than the 'presence' of the panels themselves. In Red Yellow Blue III the square panels present color. It was made to exist forever in the present; it is an idea and can be repeated anytime in the future.” MadeIdeasFormForeverColorPaintingRedMarkBlueSquaresYellowMultipleRectangles Author:Ellsworth Kelly
“For many years, I have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. The color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. And the color of where you can never go.” YearsHas BeensDesireEmotionColorSolitudeMountainBlueMovedDistanceEdgesRangeHorizonWhere You AreFar AwayMountain Ranges Author:Rebecca Solnit
“Each thing organizes the space around it, rebuffing or sidling up against other things; each thing calls, gestures, beckons to other beings or battles them for our attention; things expose themselves to the sun or retreat among the shadows, shouting with their loud colors or whispering with their seeds; rocks snag lichen spores from the air and shelter spiders under their flanks; clouds converse with the fathomless blue and metamorphose into one another; they spill rain upon the land, which gathers in rivulets and carves out canyons.” SpaceAttentionSunAirLandRocksColorBattleShadowRainBlueCloudsSeedsLoudGesturesShelterOrganizeRetreatSpidersShoutingWhisperingSpillsConversesCanyonsAbram Author:David Abram
“The sun truly "comes up like thunder," and it sets just as fast. Each sunrise and sunset lasts only a few seconds. But in that time you see at least eight different bands of color come and go, from a brilliant red to the brightest and deepest blue. And you see sixteen sunrises and sixteen sunsets every day you're in space. No sunrise or sunset is ever the same.” DifferentLastsJusticeSpaceSunColorBandRedBlueCome UpEightBrilliantSunsetSecondsSunriseThunderComes And GoesSixteenStar GazingSunrise And Sunset Author:Joseph P.

“Starry Starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land.” KnowsLooksSoulEyePoetryNightSongDarknessTreeLandColorSummerShadowBluePaintWinterMy SoulHillsGrayBreezeChillPopular SongPaletteSnowyDaffodilLinenStarry Night Author:Don McLean
