a little bit of color inspiration

there are a few things i've strolled across in the past month or so that use color in a particularly delightful way.

this blog, a wee bit simpler, is one:

and this book, which is out of print and $150, makes me wish i had thought of it first.


i send you this cadmium red is a correspondence between two artists and friends that began with a swatch of red being sent across the english channel from england to france.

that marked the beginning of an entire story of letters and colors traveling back and forth across years i gather. it challenges me to find other ways besides pre-made postcards to communicate as well as opening up new possibilities for inviting color into stories and not just using it as the backbone for my paintings.

what a great idea. sigh.
