Entry 14

Today I realized there's a common misconception that when light is dark and cool, like during a rainy day, the colors of the environment become desaturated and less vivid. This isn't really the case, today it was rainy and as I looked around I noticed that the plants were even more bright and vivid. Even the dead brown fallen leaves, pine needles, and dirt seemed to be made of far brighter colors than normal. Perhaps the idea that rainy weather equals gloomy grey colors is just a psychological thing. It may even be as simple a decision by an artist to convey a gloomy mood, but just like how a rainy day can be a happy joyous thing rain can produce happy joyous colors.
