In a painting of blended colours, presence is diluted and permeated by absence, such that between 'there is’ and ‘there is not’, things surge up. A blending of colour occurs in water, clouds, mists, and smoke wherever indistinctness and impermanence reign. in the act of blending colours a painting thinks, it thinks the interval between colours.
