If you have a keen eye, you can do studies of master’s works to see where they’ve placed different colors and hope to gain some sort of insight into their thought process. To describe the special alchemy at play in the color selection of a master as elusive is an understatement. ![]() ![]() Looking at my skin, I can’t detect any green, but in the context of this painting, It just works. Why is it the masters can so effectively depict a moonlit scene or the warm, translucent glow of an ear caught in the sun? Why do their colors look so right while mine look so wrong? Individually, the colors they’ve chosen don’t even make sense. ![]() In regards to color, it can be hard to figure out what separates your work from that of a professional. The problem persists when you’re older and decide to take the subject of painting seriously. But then again, neither did our stick figures. Granted, its color was a bit of an oversimplification and didn’t do the complexities of real human skin justice. It was that one warm, fleshy orangish pink that was the only crayon even remotely close to human flesh. In elementary school, when it was time to draw, I remember everyone would dig through the big box of crayons in search of that one skin-colored crayon. ![]()

![]() ![]() What JM Barrie wrote had to be somewhat true. ![]() These are JM Barrie’s words: “I think that quite the most touching sight in the Gardens is the two tombstones of Walter Stephen Matthews and Phoebe Phelps.Here Peter found the two babes, who had fallen unnoticed from their perambulators, Phoebe aged thirteen months and Walter probably still younger, for Peter seems to have felt a delicacy about putting any age on his stone. I’d read it in the 1906 edition of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. I knew the stones would be here somewhere. I was too fascinated by the stones, for I’d been looking for them on a gravestone hunt, and it’s all JM Barrie’s fault. Maybe a chestnut tree? I did not pay attention. As good a family picnic spot as any, it has something that other grassy patches do not - two worn-out stones under an ancient tree. To find them, I took a walk with my girls to a small grassy patch in the park by the Round Pond. These two stones hold the key to one of its quietest secrets. Whether you believe in them or not, fairy stories run deep in the roots of its plants. The park is crisscrossed by invisible lines. ![]() Kensington Gardens is not all royalty, ducks and merry-go-rounds. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you see ‘Sign in through society site’ in the sign in pane within a journal: Many societies offer single sign-on between the society website and Oxford Academic.
