Color Color Color
Spent part of this weekend, last weekend and the weekend before Phoenix, painting part of my house. I am using bold colors and really like what's going on. There is more work to be done, but here is some of the reason why I am not out shooting landscapes.

The first weekend I painted the dining room wall orange. It is intense and in the evening as the sun goes down and the lights are turned on in the house, it is warm and glowing. I really like it and was encouraged by the fact that Frank Lloyd Wright used the same color as an accent in the Taliesin space. The motivation behind this was to get rid of some of the sterile white and accent all the blue denim couches in the lving room. I have beautiful kilim rugs with bright and intense reds and oranges so I riffed off that. Then last weekend I painted the wall behind the TV this intense green. It is kind of like the crayon - yellow green when colored down hard. The official name is Avacado. My mother likened it to painting my house in the colors from the 70's. I guess she is right - we used to have a kitchen these colors - but the greens weren't this intense. Anyway, my sister returned from being gone for six weeks, and stated that the other wall of the corner - the one that lays in front of the orange wall when standing in the living room, also needed to be green to accent the Beatles Yellow Submarine figures. So this afternoon I pulled out the brushes again (oh yeah the green is brushed on rather than with a roller) and painted the wall.
The edging of the two colors was done because the corners of all the walls are curved into the ceilings so there is no clean cut transition like you would expect. I picked out patterns and edging from the killim rugs that I have throughout the space and kind of like the result.
