"Something is better than nothing!" I'm sure I say this at least once a day.
I had given up hope about getting a post completed this week.
I still haven't gotten around to visiting everyone who commented on last week's blog.
My apologies ~ I'm so sorry!
I've been slammed. Certainly overwhelmed.
And then I reminded myself that something is better than nothing.
So here goes a shorter post.
Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date theme this week is Complementary Colors.
2×3 grid of squares colored with the primary and secondary colors of the RYB color model.
Each tile has an ellipse colored complementary to the square that it’s in.
I've grown up with the traditional RYB color model.
This model designates three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue,
and three secondary colors: green, purple, and orange.
The complementary primary-secondary pairs are:
red-green, yellow-purple, and blue-orange.
The complement of any primary color is made by combining the other two primary colors.
For example, red's complementary color is green,
and green is made by combining blue and yellow.
Combining all three primary colors makes a black or gray color.
Moses Harris, in his book, The Natural System of Colours (1776).
In a color palette, complimentary colors are two colors directly across from each other.
For example, red and green are complimentary colors.

Hopefully, this week will be less hectic and chaotic for me.
I plan to do much better getting around to visiting everyone.
Have a great week! Take care!
