Where Colors came from

Description

***ORIGINAL SOLD***

"when the great fox alopecoides made all the stars and beings, he realized very soon that the emptyness of the big nothing was decently filled, but still all somber and lifeless, which upset him.
so he sat back and pondered for a very long time how this could be changed. he pondered and pondered - but absolutely no idea crossed his mind.
he decided to ask his friend phisphis, a very bright but lonely star about this.

and phisphis said: "my dear friend, you know that i love your creation - i mean, without you, i wouldn´t exist - but you couldn´t be more right: the whole world you made - the stars, the planets, the beings - is really kinda dreary. i´d feel honoured if i could help you but unfortunately, i have no solution either. i´m a star, i don´t have to think about those things. the only thing i do is shining. if i´d be a fox, maybe i´d have a better sense for this."
of course, this was just a thought - but alopecoides kinda liked this thought. his whiskers twitched and he turned phisphis the star into a fox. although he had the shape of a vulpine being now, phisphis still had the same shine he had when he was a star - and that was the moment, when alopecoides had his idea to solve the problem with his somber world. he clothed the shine of phisphis with colors, colors that where so colorful that the newborn fox simply shimmered.
phisphis himself was so delighted that he suggested alopecoides to share his colors with the rest of the world. alopecoides agreed joyfully and bestowed him two companions he created from two other stars called phesphes and phosphos, so phisphis wasn´t so alone anymore.

so, the three colorfoxes - one gaudier than the other - went out and gave all those ordinary things and beings their colors you know today - the grass green, the fire red, the water blue and so on. (and their effort was especially magnificent with the colors of the universe´s nebulae, as you know.)
next time when you see the happiness of a rainbow or the shimmer of the northern light, you´ll know that the colorfoxes are on the prowl again.
watch closely - maybe, you even recognize their shape behind the colors."

Mh, sowas will ich auch unbedingt mal malen. Hab letztens aus langeweile ein kleines Bartgeier-Portrait in Acryl angefangen, im realistischen Stil - maaan, ist das schwer! So frustrierend, weil es eigentlich gar nicht SO viel anders ist als Aquarell, trotzdem muss man es halt üben. Und das hab ich noch nicht...und die Erkenntniss, dass ich es ohne Übung nur sehr schwer und mittelmäßig hinkrieg hat mich frustriert ^^
Und ich kann einfach nicht loslassen, so ein halb-realistisch, halb-abstrakter Stil wie hier würde mir glaub ich sehr schwer fallen, weil ich mich kaum traue, mir zu vertrauen, einfach loszumalen, sich von der Vorlage zu lösen. Hm. Übung.

Hast su sowas wie ein Lieblingsmedium?
