A color schemeInspiration, quotes |
“A color scheme can come from anywhere. Forget fanning trough hundreds of color chips on a paint wand, wondering „Do I like this or that?“ It is confusing and much too analytical. Instead, look at the ocean or a grove of trees. I have started with a chip of cerulean blue paint from the hallway of the Quisisana hotel in Capri, a fragment of silk from Thailand, a scrap of paper found on a street in NY. It will always be something that sets off a strong emotional reaction, something that pulls me in. Absorb everything in your environment. Put yourself in places that open up your senses. Creativity comes from a place deep inside you. Follow your instincts, and you will find what you need.”
Vicente Wolf , “Learning to see“

I agree! I chose the exterior paint colors of my house based on the colors of sycamore tree bark (copper-gutters/sage-walls/lichen-shutters)…great post…k
Durch den Wald würde ich zu gern mit meinen Hunden laufen – das ist wirklich eines der wenigen Dinge, die mir hier total fehlen… wunderschöne Aufnahme!

Schön Dich entdeckt zu haben
this is an amazing photo!
What a beautiful photo and an amazing quote to go with it. I agree if a colour doesn’t connect with you there is no point to using it whether it’s “in” or not. You should trust your instincts.

Hi back from Australia Just wanted to say thanks for popping over to see my blog, it’s always so lovely to read comments from readers. Hope you are having a lovely week, Nicolex
Hi, Maria!
Vicente Wolf is amazing, love his work, for me, he is one of the best.
The picture is fantastic, congratulations on your post.
Hugs from a rainy Brasil
What an incredible quote and way of seeing the world. I think I need to open my eyes to what’s in front of me more often and stop burying my head in a book all the time.
You have a way with words and pictures my friend. And Vicente sure knows what he is talking about. What a talented designer.
Warm hugs to you, Maria.
