2010 Colors
Cedar Lee January 5th, 2010
Thanks to Alyson B. Stanfield for alerting me to the news that the Pantone Color Institute has unveiled turquoise as 2010′s “color of the year.”
It got me thinking about the colors I’m excited about using in my paintings this year. I hadn’t realized it, but in the part of my brain designated for filing away visual-delights-to-put-into-future-art, I’ve been dreaming about painting in rich, warm, gold tones. Sunny yellowy orangy colors–more along the lines of the “Hope for Tomorrow” color that’s currently in first place for color of the year in this public poll.
I’m currently working on finishing a group of Sunflower Heart paintings, which is a perfect opportunity to play with those colors.
Happy New Year!
