White, Brown, and Blue Color Scheme

Archways at the City Palace in Jaipur, India

   The ocean, blue skies, clean, white spaces, it's all very summery to me and with Summer coming, I feel inspired by these Summer colors. It's been amazing editing my photo collection and finding those photos that are limited to these two colors. It's like travelling to these places all over again. I can relive those experiences and look through my journals for more information about those experiences.

  The little painting above was inspired by the City Palace arches. It's a loose interpretation, like all my other pieces. I like taking little shapes and pieces and colors from each photo. More after the jump......

Travelling with Louise Bourgeois's Les Fleurs

Louise Bourgeois grew up in Paris and in a suburb of Paris. Her parents owned an antique tapestry shop where they sold and repaired old tapestries so she was surrounded by history and textiles and probably some great old smells. These memories of her childhood, including her time in Paris of course, informed her work for the rest of her life. She was a very sensitive child who took in everything and made it a part of her.
