Well! HELLO COLOR!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back!!
Gorgeous! And don't tell me that natural pigments mined from the earth can be copied perfectly by synthetic ones! (I took three tests on the matter (on a project) and scored 100%!!)
Argue amongst yourselves.....I will never be convinced! Our lime-washed walls were "applied" 16 years ago; and actually; as they age..they become more beautiful!
We went to Roussillion in Provence and I bought out several stores "bags" of "pink ocher" pigment locally mined!
We put it the exterior plaster.....and mixed it with "lime" (also mined out of the ground); for all the interior walls and ceilings! It gets better every year!
I adore the "antique pigments"!! They were mined out of the ground....or something natural.......(really natural)
Bravo again!!!
Penelope, Paas has its place! I love the Easter egg colors. Happy Easter to you. pgt

ReplyDeletethank you Curtis, hope you and yours had a lovely day. pgt
DeleteLooking for something different this morning, amongst all the photos of chicks, eggs, small children, and found it here, of course. Always original and interesting. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMithra, that is wonderful to hear. I will try to keep you surprised and guessing, best, pgt
DeleteI'm having a hard time figuring out which I enjoy more, but the David Hockney painting is edging out a colorful Queen Victoria and that green chair.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Gaye!
Mark, I'm partial to Victoria!
DeleteThat was a beautiful Hockney. I know so little about pigments; powdered minerals? I must go google it. I have pounded turquoise before to use in decorating my gourds.
ReplyDeleteDonna-you are always doing something interesting! The Hockney is magical.
Deletethanks to all-and for joining me on this egg hunt. I am gratified that I can still surprise a bit. pgt
