I'm seldom happy with modern art as a whole but the artists use of color is interesting to me. I do find myself gravitating to old comfortable colors in stitching. I know what will "work" with what and what will give me that feel good peace of mind. There are just times when you want a bowl of mac and cheese, not edgy cuisine that has been blowtorched or subjected to shock value sauces. I'm an arts and crafts color person generally. Intense, vibrant, rich colors. No pfussy pastels for me, thank you very much.

I, on the other hand gravitate towards yellow, orange and brown. I have never really tried to escape or invite the other ones in. And now I am looking around our bedroom. There's a white door and silver knobs on the the dark cherry (with more brown than red) furniture. Everything else is beige and they kinda just float around in the background. Maybe I should play.
