Oil Painting~After the Rain

Pin It My Brother-In-Law and his Fiancé Wendy, on their trip to Hawaii gave me several photographs to paint. Though this was not of the ocean, it still caught my eye because of the beauty of the clouds and the sun peeking over the mountain.

Blog update!

Pin It Okay....so I've been ignoring my blog! Not intentionally of course, but I have been so busy studying for my CKD exam, taking care of the kiddos, working, being pregnant, and a wife! Phew! That's a lot to say in one sentence.

Now, this is not a rule, just a tool :) But almost every day I help coordinate colors with my customers at work. If you have no clue where to start, here is something that often helps.

Use complimentary colors. For example, blue and orange are complimentary colors and work well together. Now, I'm not saying to decorate your house in a Chicago Bears theme! However, if you look at the base color, and it has blue undertones, you may want to choose a warmer complimentary color (orange toned in this case) so that they balance each other out.

This process will also help you eliminate the colors that you really dislike, or that just "don't work" while shopping in the future.
