"Hot Lands" by Lynda Cookson

I wonder, does anyone else see the days of the week in colour? I always have and somehow thought everyone else would too ... but it would seem not!

This is what I see when you say a day of the week to me:

Monday BLUE sometimes WHITE (mood related?)
Tuesday GREEN
Wednesday ORANGE
Thursday PURPLE
Friday A LIVELY BLUE GREY
Saturday CAMEL / BEIGE
Sunday YELLOW

Anyway, it feels like Sunday today, although it's Monday, so I'm choosing a yellowy abstract which makes me think of Sunday and my country of South Africa.

"Butter" by Lynda Cookson

I'm working on a large diptyche at the moment, with a South African political theme, for a gallery in the States ... so the colours on my palette are the warm colours of Africa. This is how "Butter" the cow quickly came to life when need for a quick painting arose!
