Frustration. I just spent more time than I want to admit typing a
bit about today’s color inspiration. I had a picture in mind to
use…from Pinterest…of a lovely purple
cottage on stilts over water with palm trees in the background.
Tropical. A lovely picture that I can still see in my mind’s eye. BUT,
I couldn’t find where the photo originated from. It was pinned from a
great blog full of colorful pictures, but I am pretty sure that blogger
is not the original photographer. And, I don’t want to post photos
(however lovely they may make MY blog look), when I am not able to
properly credit the artist/photographer. I simply want to treat other
artists and their work they way I want to be treated.
So, as I was struggling with this issue, my dinosaur of a computer…which is running at half speed….spits and sputters; and of course my browser crashes. And all that I had written is gone into hyper-space. Guess it doesn’t matter anyway, since the photo I was using for inspiration remains essentially unusable until I can find the original artist in order to properly credit him/her.
So. Starting again. (*sigh*. So tired!) Well, the color was a lovely, soft purple. So I’ll stick with purple at least. And for my example pic, I’m posting one of my paintings. It’s purple, albeit a more faded hue than the color in that purple house photo from Pinterest. But at least I can credit the artist of this one…
