BLACK MAGIC

.

If anytime my drawing/painting seems dull, I add a little black to it…it’s surprising how like magic, things turn around and become attractive…the colour black has an uncanny ability to brighten things up…ironic isn’t it…but it actually makes the bright colours look brighter and richer…and gives a new definition and look to the painting

.

Kind of like…

.

Sometimes, Black (representing all the bad stuff) is added to our lives to help us see the bright colours which are already present in our lives… or to redefine our lives in a good way… at such times, we should not get bogged down by it but instead wait for black to do its magic.
