17 April 2024 – Pelikan Turquoise


As I’ve mentioned, there are folks who “specialize” in particular ink and pen colors, and turquoise is a popular one, for sure. And really, you could do worse than pursuing the perfect turquoise. This is a nice color, but alongside yesterday’s violet it still pales like the royal blue did.

“And to lose the chance to see frigatebirds soaring in circles above the storm, or a file of pelicans winging their way homeward across the crimson afterglow of the sunset or myriad terns flashing in the bright light of midday as they hover in a shifting maze above the beach – why the loss is like the loss of a gallery of the masterpieces of the artists of our time,” -Theodore Roosevelt.
