This week in the Artist's Play Room group, Jenn asked us to share our favourite colour/s.
When I was a young girl, my favourite colour was lime green.
As a teenager, my favourite colour was purple.
As the years went on, I never lost my love for lime green and purple and,
between my teenage years and adulthood, I fell in love with turquoise blue too.
So that is my favourite colour combination.
I use them in my studio
Throughout my home and in my art.
Unfortunately, I've had a very busy week and time got away from me so I only have a work-in-progress to show for the APR weekly art challenge featuring my favourite colours. A partial layer with lots more to do. I plan to finish it over the weekend and will post the finished page soon.
~ Love, light and peace ~
Gorgeous Serena!! I love how you showed the progression and your colour love over time. I am much the same with my rainbow colours. and yet, as I have travelled through this week's APRs I am seeing that what I love is colour. Even the colour that comes of just adding white to black or black to white. the colours that introduce themselves and then are never quite exactly the same. this is why I think the paint stores sell so much paint BEcause when they are mixing a colour you just never can find the same again, so better stock up on it NOW!! LOL!! didn't know I used to BE a painter's helper painting houses and such, but there you go, a piece of my story as I read yours... gorgeous piece you're sharing here, too. can't wait to see it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Currie! I do like all colours but these three are my favourites. Yep, paint stores do mix tons of different colours....sometimes, even then, it's hard to find an exact colour I'm after. lol
DeleteYou have a great eye for color and this is a lovely combination. Hope all is well and that you have a great weekend. While you are probably already starting your Saturday morning, it's time for me to hit the hay over here. :) Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tammy!
DeleteHave a beautiful weekend ~ xo
Oh, I love that painting with all the mandala shapes!! Can hardly wait to see it when it is done! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you put those colors together in so many delightful ways.
Have a creative weekend! :)
Thanks, Rita....I only hope I don't ruin it.
DeleteHave a lovely weekend ~ xo
they are very relaxing colours together :)
ReplyDeleteYes they are....I find when I have my blue and green bed linen on the bed, I am so relaxed and calm. Yet, when I have the multi-coloured bed linen on, I feel agitated and out of sorts. The blue and green set definitely have a calming affect on me.
DeleteI really love purple and turquoise, not necessarily together. Your painting is so detailed--I'm looking forward to seeing it finished!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie! They are beautiful colours in their own right too.
DeleteGorgeous colour combo and I can't wait to see your finished piece, it will be stunning I'm sure :0)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mo! I just hope I don't ruin it in the process....wish me luck ~ :)
DeleteHey Serena, I seem to be drawn to these colors too. I seem to like pastel colors in general. I do like pink, greens and blues. I joined you a twitter. Thank you for leaving at http://morningdewdrops.com
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri! I'll love pastels but have found myself drawn to more richer and vibrant colours over the past few years. This piece will be richer and more vibrant too by the time I'm finished...well, that's the plan anyways but we all know anything can happen during the creative process.
DeleteOh yes to your favorite colors. Your piece is already so interesting, I'll be the finished work will be amazing.
ReplyDeleteDarla

ReplyDeleteVictoria
Thanks, Victoria! :)
Deletecan't wait to see your painting of the mandala shapes finished... and I love those colours as well... the injection of lime green makes anything look better ...xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracey. I agree, lime green really livens things up.
DeleteI love all your photos and your WIP. It is so much fun, both the colors and the circles. I think the feeling of needing circles right now is in the atmosphere! I have been wanting circles, and have seen other artists using them too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gloria! Interesting that circles seems to be out there at the moment.
DeleteBeautiful colors! Your art work pieces are spectacular!The art work you are working on is very interesting! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!
Your new follower,
Duaa
Thanks, Duaa! I am following you too now. :)
DeleteMy favs, too! Your WIP is so pretty already...can't wait to see when done. Hope you're doing well and have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cat! Have a wonderful weekend too ~ xo
DeleteYou can see already that the mandala shapes are going to be stunning piece of work Serena,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it completed.
It's lovely to have a peek into your studio...and to see you too ;D
I can imagine you sitting there now finishing your painting...enjoy!
Thanks, Neesie! It's coming along nicely and I'm hoping to post it later tonight. :)
DeleteWow! The piece you're working on is fantastic! As for colors, I think I could have written this blog post as these are colors I always move towards when I do art. Purple has been my all-time favorite but I find I'm also drawn to turquoise and lime green with maybe a little bit of hot pink added in.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janet! I like some magenta pink mixed with these colours too. :)
DeleteI love your vibrant favorite colors!!! Your last photo of your art project is really pretty!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie! xo
DeleteI love the paint tubes, colours always look so yummy when you look at the ends of tubes. Your mandala is so beautiful, the colours are wonderful. Your studio reminds me of Tracey FK's, all neat and ready for action, just fab. Thought you might have had your new mug in the picture, but can't see it, it sounds gorgeous though.
ReplyDeleteVon.
Thanks, Von! Sadly, in recent weeks, my studio has been relocated to the garage....still a nice set-up tho. I'm envious of Tracey's studio...love all the whites! Not a new mug...I've had it for a few years now and I just love the colours and design which has worn off around the top due to scrubbing off tea stains. :( I'll try to post it one day soon. :)
Deletesoothing color combinations! I really enjoy seeing your studio too! :) Super inspiring, Serena!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny! I love having a place to play tho sometimes the dining room table will suffice just as well. :)
DeleteI also love those colours, but I really like magenta too! Very cheerful colours to brighten any home :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shell....funnily enough, a fair bit of pink ended up in the doodle sketch. I don't mind magenta either. xo
DeleteThose are 3 delightful colors together! I especially like the lime green. Yum. I saw your finished creation on the post above and like it a lot, but I have to say that this unfinished one has a very attractive simplicity to it as well!
ReplyDeleteI agree...I like the simplicity too. :)
