Funny how in black and white, when you start selectively coloring the black areas back in, you realize how much color you see in black
These two rocks are both part of my clutter on my bookshelves, the obsidian egg from a man who was my classroom assistant in my special ed. preschool and the Darth Vadar, a rock I found on a hike ad added a silver sharpie doodle to
The Color Black
The meaning of the color black is mystery and protection
Black is the color of the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, creating an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside, hidden from the world.
In color psychology the meaning of the color black is protection from external emotional stress. It creates a barrier between itself and the outside world, providing comfort while protecting its emotions and feelings, and hiding its vulnerabilities, insecurities and lack of self confidence.
Black is the absorption of all color and the absence of light. Black hides, while white brings to light. What black covers, white uncovers. We all use black at various times to hide from the world around us in one way or another. Some of us use it to hide our weight; others among us use it to hide our feelings, our fears or our insecurities.
Nicely done! I remember when we used to say black was the presence of all the colors mixed together. That's not really true, but it certainly is interesting how many colors you actually do see in black when you take the time to look carefully. Nice capture.
I found several black rocks for my pic - except when I put them on a black background they turned out to be brown, blue and grey! I like how your obsidian egg seems to be glowing!
