SOC: Charcoal Grey & Pale Pink

Last updated : April 10, 2016

20130702_2348 20130702_2350 20130702_2349So here we are at week 4 of The Summer of Color with Charcoal Grey & Pale Pink. A much easier set of colors for me.

I had a bit of a hard time getting the right grey until I read on Elizabeth’s post that she puts a little purple into her grey’s to give it more intense color. It worked!! So happy….thanks E!

I’ve been doing a lot with splattering paint and inks lately. It seemsĀ  to add the texture I’m seeking.

I have to admit that this shot with those colors makes me think 1980’s…”like totally“. There are parts of the 1980’s worth reliving…

I’m also loving the texture I pressed into the grey. I was actually trying to stamp some black texture into it but the paint was still too wet. I decided to run with it.

I had some “help” taking my photos this morning…

    I’m glad I was able to help with the color, because you got a perfect charcoal grey to pair with that pink. The splatters are great. Wish I’d thought of splatters. And of course, your composition was super, too. A lovely, very elegant, feminine entry for SOC week 4.
