Inspiration for color

Inspiration for color and texture palettes comes from Mother Nature herself.  I’m intrigued when I am asked, “Do these colors go together?”  More often than not the colors are found in nature together.  A tree gives us various colors of brown and green varying depending on the species and variety of the tree along with the seasons of the year. 

 Bits of grey and oranges can be found mixed into the tree truck as yellows and reds can be found in the leaves depending on the seasons.  Colors of dry grass against a blue sky with a red barn give us inspiration for a weaving or for a color palette for a room.  A wild, stormy sky gives us inspiration for using various grey tones ranging from blacks to purples to whites.

Look to the landscape for your inspiration for what gives you comfort and make you happy!
