Over the years the artists of "Paint Sea on Site" have done paintings of our house and we've bought a couple of them. So it was, while we were driving around looking for artists at work that I saw this home I've always enjoyed for it's bright salmon colour and yellow day-lilies lining the sidewalk. On this warm afternoon, they'd thrown open the door with the peacock stained-glass, and with those chairs, golden door and lime green framing, I *had* to seize the opportunity! Trust me when I say that while I picked the "Painterly" HDR finish, I didn't have to pump up the colour...not one little bit! That might have been considered "gilding the lily" (so to speak... ;)
@golftragic Thanks, Marnie... A little surprisingly, they DO go together very well, I think! I love it...the folks up here really enjoy lots of colour!
@Weezilou I reckon the colours go together too. They shouldn't, but they do. I have a theory that nature's colours never clash, and all those colours merely pick up colours from the peacock-tail window.
@golftragic Good eye, Marnie! Shame on me that I missed the obvious! I once had a terrific art teacher who was taking about colour combinations (throwing down skeins of embroidery floss) to make up a quick palette. In one, rust, orange green and purple...several students groaned...and she said, Have you ever looked at a rooster's tail?! Case in point...you're absolutely right about Mother Nature! (It's never wrong, is it?)
Utterly magnificent! I loved that stained glass window - especially with the faint hint of glow in the feathers. So strange that all these colours work so well together!
Amazing mix of colurs. The owners must be non-conformists, joyous thinking arty types - and of course I could be quite wrong about that. At least I would expect extroverts to be living there - great capture.
@jrambo001 Would you like a larger image of this photo? They frown on people helping themselves to things they want around here! (But I'm serious about the photo...)
