Save when there are Living Eyes to See It, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches
"Yet color has no actual existence. It is only by courtesy that we can use the word. Nature is a monochrome save when there are living eyes to see it. The trees are not really green, nor are the flowers red and yellow and blue. Each object simply reflects rays of light which vibrate at a given rate of speed; and these rays, smiting upon the sensitive retina of the eye produce the impressions which we know as color." Birge Harrison (1854 - 1929) in Landscape Painting
