Once upon a canvas, three primary colors had become quite enthralled by their purity and beauty. Red, Green and Blue each had a brilliance of hue unique to the other. On any given afternoon, they could be overheard quibbling about what distinguished themselves from the darkness:
"Look at me. The royalty of my hue overwhelms the dark quite efficiently, wouldn't you agree?" belted Blue.
"Indeed, you are quite pleasant to behold. Yet, without my fierce boldness, you would surely be overlooked." Red ranted.
"See here now, there is no denying the relaxing aura I portray." gushed Green.
"Shush, here come the young ones now. They mustn't hear our fussing." said Blue.
Yellow, Cyan and Purple oozed about, glowing with a soft luster bestowed by their maker. They muttered amongst themselves unswerved by their self absorption.
"My makers are of the lineage of Red and Green. Quite superior, I think." yapped Yellow.
"I must say that you quite bright, indeed. I am often forced to trickle away, yet I contend that darker shades are preferred." persisted Purple.
"Nonsense, I have been told that my hue is the fairest of all." said Cyan. "When perfection is desired, others look to me."
"Dearest progeny, whatever are you trifling about?" groaned Green.
"Yes, do tell us." added Red and Blue.
"We were discussing who is the fairest of them all, nothing more." Cyan confessed.
Green erupted, "We each have our unique qualities, my dear ones. Always remember, we owe everything to our creator, the purest of White”.
"Where is White?" asked Purple.
"Why, White is everywhere darkness is not. White is the creator of us all." said Blue.
An enormous cluster of soft, unbent bristles descended suddenly and rather unceasingly swept them up into small portions. One by one their peace and solitude were interrupted by a silent symphony of chaos. Before long they would find themselves no longer as individuals but instead as part of a new creation, one even more beautiful.
They would now be obliged to stick together, side by side, for all eternity. An exclusive community of colors.

I loved this entry. Being an artist myself, nothing says it like the crafted colors of our creator. Refined in nature, explosive in expression, and dominant in splendor. https://www.iomamerica.net/inphinnity-art-gallery
