Colour to me makes things alive. It’s quite an emotional thing. My home is full of colour. I’m not a colour expert but tone on tone and vivid colours can enhance any room. I’m not brave enough to paint my walls bright but my furniture and artwork become like a gallery.
In painting blue recedes into the background and red comes forward giving a 3D effect. Traffic lights are an interesting example. Red is the colour with the longest wavelength so it was chosen for Stop as it can be seen from the greatest distance.
My garden has many colours in it. Also it’s quite random. If things grow and the precious birds drop seeds I’m happy.
