Harmony is the principle that goes unnoticed until it is missing. Ten, you really notice that something is out of whack. What makes things gel? It’s a difcult quality to explore, but there is no better place to observe harmony than in nature. Te realm of color ofers a good clue at how nature handles the other elements. Nature never looks gaudy, and everything seems in place. Consider: between big doses of color.
Remember, harmony happens almost efortlessly.
