Holland in Prismatic Greys Holland the flat low-key light of Van Eyke and Vermeer, Breughel and Kalfe. Reflected luminosity into the firmament from rivers, canals and lakes. Watery muted aquamarine, turquoise, azurite, lapis, sapphire greys. Pallid in prismatic neutrals. Bent fracture-light colour spectrum. Rose pink madder misty morning, salmon greys. Chartreuse tint-grey flooding and blotted by paper-tissue clouds. Soft light, clear eyes. Eau de nil, green greys and yellow green, lime curd light from A field of corn swaying next to the window, in high-key contrasts of Grey indigo-violet shadows and golden avocado green tint of new leaves.
