Colours Of The Wind

Disney's 'Pocahontas'. See, Disney does actually have a reference to everything even if they don't know it. So next time someone dares to criticize it, just remember your whole childhood and you child's childhood will be based on it. A fair number of classic stories come from Disney and they have made classics unique. So don't even begin to criticize. You will be hunted down and killed. 

But I was struggling for a name for this post, and low and behold, whilst listening to six hours of Disney music (because I'm awesome), the perfect song came on! Genius really. So, there is a storm coming. And that means lots of wind and rain. I love the rain. Go read about it. But the wind is also quite awesome. Well... discounting the hair going everywhere and the skirts blowing up flashing everyone and the umbrellas turning inside out. But it is mostly good. Apart from the tornadoes and hurricanes and cyclones. But hey. That's life for you. 

But in my room there is a chimney. It's unblocked and theoretically I could have a fire in it. But to be honest, I'd probably end up setting fire to the mass collection of books I have and probably my bed as well. The bed wouldn't bother me. But the books. Man, some serious murder might take place. You take my books, you take my soul. Or at least a portion of it. 

But when the wind is strong it is really loud in my room because it comes down the chimney in a paint stroke of blue and red. It just sweeps down the chimney like a wrong way round chimney sweep. 'Mary Poppins' another Disney movie! It makes chimney sweeps cool. 

The blue is a sort of acrylic looking dark blue. But like it has had black mixed in to make that cheep home made darker blue. It's a muted shade. Not as bright as you would expect it to be. It is quite blue nevertheless. The red is the shade of red you get when you mix it with a tiny bit of blue poster paint when you are a small, creative child. It's not purple but it is still red.  It's shiny but at the same time a muted shade. Imagine the shade and then put a layer of PVA glue on it and leave it to dry to make it shiny.

The paint strokes are individual lines that follow in the same direction but there are clumps of lines in different thicknesses. And some clumps start in different places and may be more splodgy than others. It looks like a paint stroke when there is a little paint left and you are trying to get the last of the paint used up. 

So yeah. That is what I am expecting to see in the up coming twenty-four hours. It should be fun.
