Grey/Gray

I want to talk about Grey.
​We all know grey is great for graying colors for shadow and distance, but what really intrigues me about Grey is its Magical Qualities.​
For example: place grey next to an intense/saturated color and watch what happens...
The intense/saturated color begins to SING.
Is this not pure magic?
 And then for Grey's next magical trick:
The SENSE  of Unity it brings to the work. And tagging along comes MYSTERY, 
 THE VERY BONES OF THE WORK.
 Mystery allows something deeper to happen. An emotional connection is made and it leaves us wanting more. A sense that there is more that is unseen keeps us thinking, wondering, and returning to the work again and again.
A little uncertainty is an important element in a work of art.
Francis Bacon said, "Our job is to deepen the Mystery."
  Grey/Gray: the magical color.......
