I saw this cards in the windows of a decorator’s shop across the road from the Café Plazza where Wendy and I do a lot of hanging out and I thought of you Katie.
The colours are typical of those used on the buildings here in Agde – really different from those we see around us on the streets at home.
Of course it’s about the light. Light changes the painters’ palette, and it would seem the decorators’ too. Brilliant sun and intense blue sky change everything.
As someone who normally wears more than her fair share of black I find that here I would like to be much bolder: coral and turquoise, green, yellow even, although yellow has never been a favourite colour of mine (as you know) and pale chalky blues and white – because they look so gorgeous in the sun.
It’s a bit like mists and windows with me, I’ve always had a thing about colour – it has to be right for me and I think its the same for you.
As you can’t make it to Agde here are some colour pictures for you:
Wow those colours are stunning. I definately thik your right about the way in which the climate affects the colours we choose for ourselves and our homes. I particularly like the lemon and grey together, they are both colours that have features in my colour palate for this latest project. The surface detail is beautiful too. Thanks you xx
And if I may say – your Fine Art background comes out strongly in your photography. Beautiful images!

Thank you Steve – I think the fine art thing is there – maybe its why i love blogging so i can satisfy my need to make pictures too. Or maybe its the only way I know as a writer to instant publication – you just press publish and there it is – no sanction needed from the world of publishing.
