Blue

Paintbrush colours blue
indigo to ocean hues
and baby blue tints
cerulean daubs on canvas
next to Prussian blue patches.

So many shades of blue on the artist's pallet, Carol, and you use them to create a beautiful picture in your tanka. Best wishes for success in Francine's contest! Love, Carolyn
