I was delighted this morning by a sunrise in deep blues, golden yellow and light coral.
What a colorful way to start my day.

Van Gogh certainly has an emotional impact to his color choices. Who else could evoke night time using a yellow sky?
Through January 5th, you can view many of Van Gogh’s beautifully evocative paintings. ‘Colors of the Night’ is showing at the Museum of Modern Art on West 54th Street in Manhattan. (more…)

When I presented at the Apartment Therapy meet up earlier this month I met Rachael Grad one of their DC writers. I immediately liked Rachael but when I learned that she had recently given up law to pursue her passion for art I knew I had found a kindred spirit.
As many of you know quite a few years ago I gave up my lucrative corporate position in order to regain a bit sanity in my hectic life as a single mom and to focus completely on color. At the time most of my friends and family thought I had lost my mind but it has turned out to be one of the best decision I ever made.

Even among dozens of photos I was immediately drawn to this one but considering how much I enjoy Rothko paintings I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
I think this is a beautiful warm color palette.
A post on Twitter caught my eye.
lattemommy : I think in red. What colour do you think in?
I clicked the link that followed and had to share the comment from her daughter that brought a big smile to my face–
Observing the Princess engaged in her ambitious project of “drawing the whole world”, which apparently involves a lot of sea creatures…
Me: Don’t colour on your forehead.
Princess: I’m not, I’m just thinking with this crayon. (more…)

Today’s Flickr photo find is from Goodcryst. I like the way the bright colored balls create repetition and contrast against the middle ground of black, white and sand. Also the red cap on the young girl in the foreground and the two red balls above really draw my eye into the picture.
