For 19 years, I have celebrated Christmas. However, I have not been a huge fan of Christmas or any other holiday. Palette of Boldness is about the colors chosen that represent the boldness that I have taken through the experience of Christmas.

“Christmas in Washington, D.C. is a festive celebration marked by vibrant decorations, holiday events, and a sense of community spirit. The city transforms with lights adorning the National Mall, and iconic landmarks host seasonal activities that attract both locals and visitors. From the National Christmas Tree to various holiday markets, the atmosphere is filled with joy and cheer, making it a memorable time to experience the nation's capital.”

Simple White

The necessity for acquiring whiteboards has diminished for me, as I ceased offering educational services back in 2018. Since that time, my focus has shifted entirely. I have been working on my branding and digital art where I utilize various digital applications to express my creativity. In this context, the color white serves a significant purpose, often representing simplicity and clarity in my artistic endeavors. “The concept of Simple White embodies the essence of minimalism, where the purity of the color white acts as an open canvas for creativity and innovation, allowing ideas to flourish without the distractions of complexity. The color white encourages a harmonious balance between creativity and tranquility.”

Colorful Symbolism

I have no idea what discussions you are having because I am busy focusing on my branding, digital art and my services. The purpose of sharing my digital art that I have created has nothing to do with relationships nor friendships. It has to do with the experiences, symbolism behind the colors and the principles related to creating my digital art. According to my research, “ deep dark red represents determination, warmth and depth, while crimson and red symbolizes courage and creativity.”

Afrika Abney With the principle of faith, I am fortunate that I graduated from Bell Multicultural High School in 1993 because I felt alone, depressed, traumatized, isolated and discriminated against every time that I stepped inside the school from 1991 - 1993. The colors gold and shades of yellow are deliberately selected to depict optimism, while black represents faith.
