In the Pink

All that rhubarb put me in mind to look at pink working in interiors. I am not one for Barbie / bubble gum pink. But I do like tones of pink – like fuchsia pink, blush pink , or a plummy pink – the kind you see in stalks of rhubarb for example..

A dramatic shot of rhubarb pink in the rug…

 

tones of rhubarb pink in the cushions…

 

I look to nature all the time for inspiration especially for colour.

natural pale pink….

 

the same pale pink repeated in a room….

 

Paeonies in blush pink hues….

 

reflected in paint colours….

 

echoed in finishing touches to a room….

 

and in decorative details…..

 

and in this ‘Nerines and Chrysanthemums’ an etching & aquatint with gold leaf by Jean Bardon – from the selection of artworks available through my Creative Service.

 

It is as easy as that to introduce a hint of pink…
