I have always wanted to see the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book<\/strong> Art so I’m flying all the way from my studio in California. This amazing museum was founded by none other than Eric Carle<\/strong><\/a> who made the unforgettable book The Very Hungry Caterpillar <\/em>and lots of other treasures that I keep at home on my shelf.<\/p>\n

I have to tell you that I had a very hard time picking out my favorite color for this picture book because when it comes to the subject I can change like a chameleon.You see I come from Mexico where color is everywhere. Here’s a photo I took from the street near my home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico as proof that we don’t suffer from any form of chromaphobia. Because I grew up on a steady diet of color it’s important to always get my daily dose. That’s why I decided on the all around-great color-gentle, genuine gray that comes in many shades because it goes so well with every other color under the rainbow. I admit I like to use a lot of them.<\/p>\n
