The Gift of Unity: Created For One Primary Purpose
I recently purchased a blouse displaying a beautiful array of colors, primary colors specifically. This blouse inspired my latest painting project in which I decided I would use only primary colors.

The Gift of Joy: Changing Your Perspective
See all those colorful wildflowers? For months leading up to that morning, nothing but grass filled the entire field.
