Purple Palette

Victorian Purple. From Benjamin Moore.

I finished painting the second coat of Victorian Purple on our home's four outside doors yesterday. I think it is rather beautiful. This is our "side" door; the door we use most often:

I liked the way the color looked so much I decided to paint a small table in the backyard.

Minutes after painting the table I noticed our pink wheelbarrow (So much depends upon a pink wheelbarrow!) looking a bit forlorn. I painted it, too, Victorian Purple.

And I saw that Victorian Purple was good. Beautiful. And I said, "What else needs to be painted Victorian Purple?" And I saw our Garden Oar and I said, "Let this, too, be painted."

And it was so. And I saw everything that I had painted, and behold, it was good. It was beautiful.

If you would like to fill your home with beautiful photographs, or need a portrait, a wedding photographed or if you are an interior designer and need photographs of your projects, contact me for a consultation.

Drawing on that degree in Art History, a passion for telling stories, and years working as a portrait and documentary photographer (And owning an Art Gallery) helps me bring a heightened sensitivity to my photography. Let's make the world a more beautiful place!
