It was a colorful weekend. I took a break to attend a color theory class with Kelly Kilmer on Saturday at Zinnia's. When preparing for a show it's essential to me to take time to just absorb and Kelly's class was the perfect vehicle for that.

I'm feeling very sienna brown today, a touch of orange and white mixed with my brown...
We played with paint, got our fingernails dirty (and our clothes) and I felt refreshed and inspired. Thanks Kelly for a good time...check out her blog if you get the chance http://kellykilmer.blogspot.com/ . I swear she is one of the hardest working teachers I know. And Zinnia is a very cool store...cheers Tamara!http://www.zinnia.biz/
Isn't color one of wonders of the world?

Color is the first thing I think about when I start a project before I even think about the subject or design. There are times I even feel bad throwing out/ rinsing my palette. There are not a lot places like Zinnas around here. Looks like a neat place.

Blue is my favorite color. Glad to know it also means hope, faith and spirituality, and not just sad. I have lots of hope, faith and spirituality.

Splashing color onto paper or canvas, sanding it back a bit, rubbing in some metallic pigments, now that's what I call an afternoon!
