  • Foreword Shades of Yellow
    Carol Kapuscinsky Foreword Shades of Yellow It is fitting that Carol Kapuscinsky is presenting us with a body of works entitled, Shades of Yellow. I cannot imagine a more suitable colour for Carol considering the words that best describe her personality would undoubtedly include bright, sunny, cheery and warm. All words embodied by yellow. Yet, the significances of this pigment are far more reaching in her life. Having spent her early childhood in Peru and then most of her developing years in Winnipeg, yellow has played a pivotal role in her life. Whether it was the majesty of the sunflower or the dominance of a prairie field, the presence of this colour was a constant force in her life. Further of course, as a painter, colour is crucial to Carol's work. It is through her honed observational skills, her wealth of experience and her spiritual relationship with the land, that she is able to offer such beautiful and emotionally powerful paintings. Within these skills, her ability to see and create compelling and living colours is critical. Carol's process begins with first-hand experience of the landscape and documenting it. Then she labours over a composition for each canvas. But it is the next steps, those that include the layering of paint and the creating of rich, deep tones that mark the magic and singularity of Carol's paintings. Beginning almost in abstraction, Carol lays forms of colours, one upon another, until the details emerge. In Shades of Yellow, the focus then becomes the unavoidable yellow, which may depict a canola field, or a patch of flowers or may simply be how the light turns the scene golden.

  • Pain Management
    Calming Color Visualization To begin, make yourself comfortable. Adjust your clothing as needed and assume a comfortable position. First, before the calming color relaxation begins, notice how your body feels in this moment. Passively pay attention to the state of your body right now. Do not try to change anything, simply notice how your body and mind feel. Feel your body begin to relax slightly, as your shoulders drop a little lower.... your jaw loosens so your teeth are not touching.... and your eyelids start to feel heavy. Take a deep breath in.... hold it.... and slowly breathe out.... Now just notice your breathing. Your body knows how much air you need. Notice with interest how your breath goes in and out. Feel the pause after you inhale and before you exhale.... and the pause before drawing another breath. Allow your body to relax and your mind to focus on the calming color relaxation. Allow the relaxation to occur naturally.... allow and observe.... Create a picture in your mind of the color red. Imagine red of all shades....You might picture red objects, a red landscape, or just a solid color.....Imagine all of the different tones of red.... roses.... bricks.... apples....sunset....Enjoy the color red. Now allow the color you are imagining to change to orange. Picture the color orange.... infinite shades of orange.... flowers.... pumpkins .... carrots....Fill the entire visual field of your mind's eye with the color orange. Enjoy the color orange. Visualize the color yellow. See in your imagination all the various shades of yellow.

    COLOR WHEEL 101 BY L. S. IRISH ArtDesignsStudio.com Roy G. Biv, you ask?• He's the anagram for the color wheel: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet! Visit LSIrish.com for free online carving, pyrography, and craft projects by Lora S Irish . COLOR WHEEL 101 BY L. S. IRISH ArtDesignsStudio.com INTRODUCTION Throughout the tutorials on this site we do refer to colors, color terminology, and the color wheel, so it seems worthy to take a few moments and define these terms.• We will be working with paint colors for this quick look at the color wheel. Working with colors can seem confusing especially when those colors fall into the•different categories of light, color, and paint.• Each color wheel, those for light, color, and paint,•has specific properties.• Here we will be working with paint colors, so our color wheel is an RYB wheel not the CMYK wheel for printing and computers or the CMYK wheel of light. SOME BASICS TO PAINT COLORS 1.•There are only three colors, called Primary Colors: red, yellow, and blue. 2.• White is the absence of all color- think of an unpainted white canvas 3.• Black is the presence of all colors -paint a canvas with every color in your box and it will end up black. Remember, think paint not light. 4. Pure colors, those that have no added white, black, or brown are called hues. 5. Hues can be primary, secondary, and tertiary.• It is not how many pure colors are mixed but that all the colors contain no white, black, or brown.

  • Shades of Yellow
    Carol Kapuscinsky – Shades of Yellow Upon viewing the paintings by Carol Kapuscinsky, you are drawn in to the canvas, and feel part of the landscape. You can hear the gentle breezes, smell the fresh earth, feel the heat of the sun on your skin, see the clouds rolling by and have a sense of well-being. This is exactly what Kapuscinsky wants to do, pull the viewer in to the painting. “I want the viewer to come into the painting and stay there.” Kapuscinsky is a pure landscape artist who has a real love affair with the land, painting scenes from across Canada or wherever her travels take her. She started painting as a child but was not encouraged to pursue art as a career. In the late 1980's that changed, when she graduated from the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) to fulfill the dream that had always lived in her heart. Born to Canadian parents in Peru, Kapuscinsky later moved as a young girl to Winnipeg, Manitoba. She remembers the brightness of colour in Peru, especially the yellows. Then came the yellow fields of wheat and mustard in Manitoba. “The colour yellow has been an influence in my life since childhood. I find the colour invigorating, giving a happy positive feeling, a sense of excitement.” After the mustard fields in Manitoba, she had not seen that vibrant a yellow until she came across the canola fields north of Oshawa in the Scugog Region. “The fields were loaded with undulating yellow which took my breath away.” These new found canola fields eventually led to the title for this exhibition, “Shades of Yellow”.

  • Doppler Color Flow Imaging #4
    Doppler Color Flow Imaging #4 Joseph A. Kisslo, MD David B. Adams, RDCS INTRODUCTION Doppler color flow imaging is a method for noninvasively imaging blood flow through the heart by displaying flow data on the two-dimensional echocardiographic image. This capability has generated great excitement about the use of the technique for identifying valvular, congenital, and other forms of heart disease, as the color flow image imparts spatial information to the Doppler data. To inexperienced Doppler users, the color flow display makes the Doppler data more readily understandable because of the avoidance of complex spectral velocity displays. COLOR FLOW IMAGING IN CLINICAL PRACTICE Figure 4. 1 Systolic parasternal long-axis color flow Doppler Color Flow Imaging image of mitral regurgitation. The mitral regurgitation jet comprises a mosaic of varying colors. A variance map is used. Note the direction of flow indicated by the In Figure 4.1 there is a mitral regurgitant jet color bar on the right (Abbreviations, page 39). into the left atrium in systole and the regurgitant blood flow is displayed on the two-dimensional echocardiographic image. In color flow imaging, the colors red and blue represent direction of a given jet; the various hues from dull to bright represent the differing velocities. When turbulence is present, a mosaic of many colors results. A two-dimensional display of flow is, therefore, produced with ready identification of size, direction, and velocity. The Meaning of Color Figure 4. 2 Three color bars from a color flow system. The colors displayed on the flow map image When there is no flow, black is displayed (center) in the contain useful information.

  • The Color of Mailfinal [Compatibility Mode]
    THE COLOR OF MAIL What Message Are You Sending? Theresa Peterlein Mid-Michigan PCC Industry Co-Chair National Industry Co-Chair, Postal Customer Council Advisory Committee WHAT IS COLOR? In 1666, English Scientist Sir Isaac Newton discovered that when pure white light passed through a prism, it separates into all of the visible colors. There are over one million colors that the human eye can distinguish Colors in the red area of the spectrum are know as warm colors Warm colors evoke emotions ranging from feelings of warmth and comfort to feelings of anger and hostility. The Color of Mail - What Message Are You Sending? Colors on the blue side of the spectrum are known as cool colors and include blue, purple, and green. Cool colors are often described as calm, but can also call to mind feelings of sadness or indifference. The Color of Mail - What Message Are You Sending? Color is used both by advertisers and merchandisers to encourage and tempt the buyer to take action (purchase a product or service) Meanings are attached to color in the same respect that meanings are attached to words Color can be, and often is, more effective than words Color not only enhances appearances but also influences our behavior Colors can send a positive or negative message The Color of Mail - What Message Are You Sending? Color can calm a crowd Color can make an athlete work harder Color is a powerful means of setting emotion, which is the real driving force behind decision making. Use color not just for decoration, but to guide your viewer’ eyes and attention to the most important elements in your marketing concepts.
