Found this fun... Black Sienna by Painter Mark Rothko
In healthy people, creativity is a wonderful way to keep stress at bay and to promote relaxation. By adding different creative elements it will definitely improve an individual’s quality of life. Colour therapy is another trend from ancient times which is being revisited. Watch television or read a magazine and you will hear from interior decorators, fashion stylists or makeup artists talk about the psychological effect that colour has on an individual. For instance yellow is said to work well on patients with Seasonal Effective Disorder (SAD), red is called the color of love and the famous expression someone is green with envy is commonly used. Listed below are both the positive and negative traits of each colour. Give them a try and see what works for you.
