February 21, 2012 – There are many ways one can express creative energy; this doesn’t necessarily mean always having to paint on a ‘canvas’ if you are not so inclined.
I take them home and by adding a special artistic quality to them I try to turn them into art. A beautifully painted frame can be an attractive and sentimental gift for a loved one. Or, if you’re interested in the ‘market’ to sell your creations, you could always try that. For instance, these styles are quite popular.
October 26, 2011 – This is an interesting article which gives extra legitimacy to the whole notion of the value of a colour consultant. I would say that, wouldn’t I! But seriously, it struck a chord because I’m an enthusiast and ‘a maven’ of Musee D’Orsay. You may agree or disagree with why it’s important for private/commercial premises to give serious thought to the topic of colour enhancement for: art’s sake. In this article, the museum is displaying billions of dollars of value. The colour/lighting/setting is carefully studied.
If Feng shui is legitimate then wall colour must also be! Blood red is the colour of our time.
October 28, 2011 It’s all about colour!
This article/page caught my eye, because, it taps into the subject of colour and healing. What came to mind when I read it was: colour and mood. How colour affects mood. There’s something to this you know. I’ll tell you a story. When I was a kid, I have a yellow bedroom. I loved that yellow room. When I was a teenager, my mother let me repaint my room. We went to the local store and after much humming-and-hawing I picked what I thought was a warm light green. I bounced all the home with my fresh can of paint. But when I painted it on, the wall came out a pastel-green. Not a limey green as I had hoped. The chemical process, the wall-coverage area and the amount of light affected what the colour ‘looked like’ to me. I was devastated. ‘Cuz it’s all about what it looks like to YOU! I had given up my sunlight-yellow and now I was stuck with ‘tacky’ the whole of my teens years. Oh fudge!
From this experience I learned you have to careful with the colour green.
I never told my Mum that I was disappointed because I knew she had meant well in letting me choose another colour. The sunny yellow pep-ped up my mood whilst the pastel green made you feel kind of blah, depressive. I got over it. I covered my walls with all my music heroes and put mirrors everywhere. I still have the matching duvet and pillow covers (barely dirty) after all these years.
Nobody does colour better than a butterfly!
Working with the colour, gold – October 30, 2011
These days gold is trendy to use in decor possibilities. It might be something to do with the widening gap between rich and poor and the desire for elites to ‘look like’ they are one of the ‘haves’. Nevertheless it can look nice. One way to make sure it doesn’t look you’re trying too hard is, to, push the edges all-together, by being as goddy as you want!
Here are a few ways to blend the colour gold with other colours or use an artistic symbol to captivate people’s gaze as they walk into a gold room:

Picture-frame hobby! Here’s something I like to do. Dolling up picture frames that I find around town in vintage or antique shops. I take them home and by adding a special artistic quality to them I attempt to turn them into art pieces. A beautifully painted frame can be an attractive and sentimental gift for a loved one. Or, if you’re interested in the ‘market’ to sell, you can always try that.
