As Long As It Needs

"If I don't have red, I use blue." Pablo Picasso

Life happens....so the timing for a few of the cards in our Rainbow Connection project might be a little off.  I'm going to share and celebrate cards as they are received by the new owner.....and the rest of the project can take as long as it needs. We're still tying up the blue....several of the purples are on their way....and we'll wind it up keeping our own coral/pink later in the month.  Or whenever it works. 

This is a linocut print that Brenda did for Becky. The design is based on traditional Japanese patterns, which are often done in blue.  I love the simple shapes and geometry....and this particular inky blue. And I especially love the negatives spaces created by the print.  Well done Brenda!

Speaking of blue....the paint color I chose for the hallway table is more blue than I remembered....I did buy the paint over 6 months ago after all.

I thought I chose one that was more blue/green....but I'm auditioning it the space...and mulling it over. 

The clerk at the paint store said I really shouldn't put anything on it for at least a month....and preferably two. Really? So I didn't leave the plant....and I'll try to give the paint as long as it needs to cure.  The blue might actually be the right color....because that's the color it is right now! There's something very satisfying about a "start" turning into a "done!"

I think it goes well with my gallery wall!

I wrote about this project here.

Now it's done! 

He doesn't weigh much....

so can stay there as long as he wants to.
