I’ve loved generating colour palette’s ever since I started digital scrapbooking about 10 years ago. The scrapbooking has long since gone by the wayside but my love of creating colour palette’s hasn’t. I often play around with my pictures by picking out several colours within them that I like and then saving them along with the photograph.
While I was drooling trolling around Pinterest the other morning, I ended up on Design Seed’s page and almost jumped out of my chair…here was someone doing (and posting) the same thing I’ve been doing all these years (and not posting)!.
I’m not sure why this get’s me swooning the way it does…but who cares “why”…it just does. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making up colour palettes from my photographs. And I don’t know why it never occurred to me before to post them, as I know there are lots of you who are just as infatuated with colour as I am.
Anyway, here is my colour palette for the Sea Holly growing at the front of my home. This is a lovely plant…it comes up green but as it matures, it turns a blue/mauve. It’s a bit spiney like a thistle and thrives in well drained, dry and even poor soil (that’s my kind of plant). I think I'll be posting more of these!.
I’m still painting a canvas, although getting closer to finishing. There will come a point where I'll just have to sit on my hands and stop, but I’m not quite there yet…just adding a bit of text at the moment.
And right now I’m off to the local deli where they make the world’s best ever chili. Oh yes Texas, it’s true! (Maybe I’ll generate a colour palette for that!)
Life is about using the whole box of crayons.

Hugs to all of you, dear friends…I hope life is both kind and colourful for you…
