Some palettes arrive before we name them. A hillside in late February, a tide line at dusk, a field of dry grass going gold under a high sun. When we sit down to knot the zodiac series, we are not…
Some colors will not sit still for a photograph. You lift the phone, the shutter clicks, and the picture comes back polite — a flat blue where a storm had been, a flat grey where wet slate glowed. The lens…
