In this sparse text, Eric Carle empowers every budding artist to find joy in their creations and use their imaginations without the constraints of the âright’ colours for objects or other artistic conventions. The young artist in the story is joyful in his creations a blue horse, a green lion or a purple fox? Why not! Carle’s fictional story is inspired by artist Franz Marc, who painted animals in bright and unusual colours.
