I chose the color scheme of this vibrant flower in honor of Valentine's Day. 

Speaking of Valentine's Day, do you know the history behind the lover's hoiday? There isn't one solid account on it's history. As for St. Valentine, whom the holiday is named after, is said to have been executed in the year 269 AD! 

Have you noticed texture around you in everyday life? You maybe asking yourself.. So what? 

Finding texture in everyday life is interesting and fun.

Since it's practically Valentine's Day, I vote to break out Hershey's Kisses!

For this week's Monday in Color post, I present to you green.

I'm not really into the color green, but when you see the beautiful northern lights or Aurora Borealis dancing above you, it's stunning. A show stopper, for sure. 

I stumbled upon the animated/painted movie Loving Vincent from the retro/modern Palm Theater. This theater is like an hour away from me. I haven't been there YET, but you can bet that I will be making a visit there soon.

Beautiful texture found on a random picnic table. 

There are 4 different types of texture

1. Actual 2. Simulate 3. Abstract 4. Invented

Have you ever head of The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron?

It's a "course in discovering and recovering your creative self." Definitely sounds like a book for me.

Beautiful sunset creating interesting contrast and field of depth. 

The First Texture Tuesday

- January 08, 2018

Fining interesting textures all around you, or even from above! 

Happy 2018! This photo was taken during a beautiful sunset last year when we lived in Alaska! I love how the frozen trees are reflecting the colors around them!

Font Fun

Finding a fun font is easy, finding the name and where to download, not so much. 

I think of texture as the spice of art. The flavor. 

If you see something with beautiful colors, textures, and pattern, then take a picture for future inspiration!
