the color BLUE 

I got this book from Foster at a recent Big Time Book Club meeting. As I slowly read it here and there it started to grow on me. But not until I began to learn more of Mitchell’s oil painting, did the book really really speak to me. 

 

It doesn’t fall into any easy category and I don’t want to say too much because I want you to read it and form your own opinions.
