Also, it is not a group of colors put on a canvas which produces a harmonious painting, although this is very often done these days. It may be that someone has the idea of throwing a number of colors together, and another brings it to you saying, "Now look if you can see something in it." And when these people make a mystery out of this the curious mind thinks, "I must say it is wonderful, though I cannot understand what it is." Perhaps after having said, "How wonderful!" this person has gone home with a headache, but in front of the others he says that it is wonderful. What really impresses a person deeply, however, is a harmonious blending of colors which do not jar the vibrations of body and mind. Sometimes a really harmoniously painted picture or landscape gives peace through the effect of the colors.
