Inspired by Krishna to create a palette of blues!

Mythology......legends which have been handed down for generations since the dawn of mankind.... those tales of Gods, Goddesses and supreme beings that have become so ingrained in our psychology that we continue to consciously or unconsciously turn to them for inspiration.....for courage ..... for guidance.
Krishna the blue-skinned, flute-playing God of Hindu mythology needs no introduction…. the savior of mankind, the playful lover, the great warrior, the astute diplomat, the creator of the holy Bhagavad Gita…Krishna wears many mantles.
Today He inspires us to choose blue, the shades made iconic because of His skin color, which blends with the clear azures of the skies, the ultramarine depths of the sea all blending in oneness with the midnight navy of the Universe.
