Yellow Ochre 

Editor: This is "Yellow Ochre" by Winsor & Newton. It's, well, a jar of pigment. It feels so elemental and foundational. What do you see in this piece? Curator: I see time. It's a lovely meditation on the very stuff of art. Yellow ochre, that earthy, sun-baked hue, is in cave paintings and Renaissance masterpieces, and even now in the hands of a child finger-painting. What do you imagine it could become? Editor: Wow, I hadn’t considered it that way! I guess anything? A landscape? A portrait? A whole world! Curator: Exactly! It’s a reminder that every great work begins with such humble potential. From earth to art, a beautiful journey. Editor: True, I'll never look at yellow ochre the same way again. Curator: I hope not! Art is everywhere; you just have to know where to look!
