When I was a youngster my parents bought me a pair of braces to hold up my new trousers. Of course these were 'Trousers to grow into' and without such support I would have been running around bare arsed. The braces were blue and had pictures of planets and rockets and, in the box, was a genuine ticket to the Moon.
I know, because it said so.

A thought for a Sunday
"It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block".
PG was probably right, but ain't life much easier if he was wrong?
ReplyDeleteNo!
ReplyDeleteArt would be much less interesting if it was only based on snap-shot photographic realism.
Painting your hallway may be easier though.
I'm reminded here of the old question - if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it does it make a sound?
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at a leaf I 'see' a green object, but what does a 'colour blind' person see?
Does the colour reside in the object?
Or is it the brains interpretation of the signals it receives from the eyes ?
Which is 'reality' ?
Reality is that which, even if you don't believe in it, is still there.
ReplyDeleteHope that helps Duncan!
