Treasury - Pattern, Shape, and Color

In class, we've been studying Henri Matisse and Fauvism of the very early 20th Century. The characteristics of their paintings are: the love of surface patterning using flat shapes, and the unashamed use of pure, bright color (perhaps my next art history post will be about these rad dudes). I was inspired by this mini art movement, but replaced their super-saturated color palettes for a more refined and soothing one.

I had to research color names, and these are the three I came up with to describe this Treasury: light azure, pale peach, and camel. It's fun to search color terms in Google images and see what pops up... or maybe that's just a weird quirk of mine!

Bicycles and the Breeze

Today we had some beautiful weather, and the cool breeze brought thoughts of bicycles and summer road trips to mind. I gathered up some items on Etsy which all have to do with bicycling. Click here to see these handmade items more closely!

Sunny Sunshine

In honor of the overcast day I enjoyed yesterday, I have made a playlist to encourage sunny days. Call it a modern-day rain dance, without the dancing.




I've also gathered some of my favorite items on Etsy that feature sunny yellows in their palettes. I feel happier just looking at it!
