One of my favorite bloggers painted it, and has used it for her blog header– when I opened her blog today, I gasped, and then _stared_. I can’t quite describe why I love it so much. The colors definitely–the darkness (so tactile and touch-able) and the pale pinks and cream. And the blue somehow– notice the blueish shadows on the underside of the headboard. I love the curvature of the turned wooden posts, and even the tiny knothole or screw hole.
I look at it a little longer, and I see the blue line between the dark and light, and I start to see that the bedframe maybe has different colors to it–maybe pale pink, light green, yellow? It’s reserved, in a way– if I were painting something like this, I would go too far with the colors. This one stays with me.
You can visit her blog at The House of Nana.
Oh…well…I…
How surprised I am to find this on your beautiful blog this morning! Thank-you. I am so very flattered and you are so very kind.
Isn’t she amazing? I am not used to art affecting me in such a visceral way but hers does.
