Life can be gloomy, and this is off-set by bright colour in the home, office, workplace, and in the world generally. This book merges theory with practice and may contribute to the arts industry in some modest way by describing the quest to make colourful art. The Daubs projects may also help the general debate of what art is, and who an artist is. It is my privilege to provide an account of the Daubs, (so far), and I hope that you will be able to take from it some encouragement in respect of your own art projects. 'The brighter the colour the brighter the mood' drives the story.
