   “The old cathedrals are good, 

but the great blue dome 

that hangs over everything is better.”

 ~Thomas Carlyle

Artwork by Nibblefest artist, Jenny Luan Frye

 "Blue is the only color 

which maintains its own character in all its tones.

It will always stay blue; 

whereas yellow is blackened in its shades, 

and fades away when lightened; 

red when darkened becomes brown, and diluted with white

is no longer red, but another color - pink."

~Raoul Dufy

Artwork by Nibblefest artist, Christine E.S. Code of CES

"Blues is easy to play, 

but hard to feel."

~Jimi Hendrix

Painting by Nibblefest artist, Penny Lee Stewart

 

"Blue color is everlastingly 

appointed by the Deity to be a source of delight."

~John Ruskin
