One of my favorite oil colors is Ultramarine blue, a much fairer cousin to cobalt blue (who is also a noble character.) It's name comes from the latin meaning-- Beyond Sea. I will make a new "Strange World" watercolor using this as my sky color and name it Beyond Sea, a title of Dalinian brilliance. This color was more expensive than gold during the Renaissance, it was often reserved for the cloaks of christ and the virgin in painting. It is the deep blue par excellent and much recommended by Gardega. Beyond the Sea there is only blue and me.
