Monday Dose of Inspiration: The India Blues


A blue Monday. I saw a picture in a magazine that had a blue object like the blue of India, where there is every shade and found everywhere, every. single. day. It's infinite. I may need to paint something some shade of blue, in any of it's incarnations: indigo, teal, deep aqua...to remind me of India and how the blue there always inspires and cools after the bright heat of everything else that happens along the way.

    The medium shade of blue in the last photo is the most perfect shade of blue imaginable.
