Of course, they didn't seem to mind too much back in those days, did they? LOL...<br /><br />Funny stuff!

Is that because I was taught colors with the Munsell System or is it because I am a rebel? I don't know - maybe both. As you can guess, I have no need to use anything such as a flesh color in my work, but I wouldn't buy it anyway. Do you know what that color reminds me of? (now you have to be old enough and maybe rural enough to remember this one) I think it looks like that old paste kind of makeup foundation Caucasian women used to use...hideous stuff everyone walking around with the same colored face that did not match the rest of their bodies.<br /><br />I have to say, though, I love this painting/drawing of the many colored people. They are having such a great time just being people. Isn't it great we can create from inside ourselves rather than from the outside?<br /><br />Thanks Andrea, this is a wonderful topic to explore....and a fabulous painting to share.

I have always mixed my own skin/flesh tones anyway so think a tube of "flesh" is a waster of dollahs. Hey, that is cool that you feel you are a happy person. I dont know if i am a happy person. I am sometimes and other times i get withdrawn and quiet though i am happy during those times I suppose in a way.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700412250463044349.post-26666535609605144732009-04-29T14:49:00.000+02:002009-04-29T14:49:00.000+02:00That was always the color in the crayonbox that I ...That was always the color in the crayonbox that I NEVER used.
