\"Kahlo:<\/a>
Kahlo: The Bride Who Becomes Frightened….<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The image I chose comes from the detail of a painting by Frida Kahlo called The Bride Who Becomes Frightened When She Sees Life Opened<\/em>. You can find more of the interpretation of this painting on the FridaKahlo.org website<\/a>. I saw this painting at the\u00a0 Heard Museum in Phoenix. It was one of an exhibit that was only making one other stop in the US.<\/p>\n

The default was very brown. I think it would make a good palette for a house. Someone else’s house – not mine, but the neutrals are appealing in some way. Perhaps I am getting used to them or am starting to be able to appreciate their value in the scheme of hues and tones.<\/p>\n

I moved the circles around to any colors just to get some colors. There is a sherbet\/sorbet feel to the first palette I made. I like the Kona Amber, though I think it looks more like a perfectly ripe apricot.<\/p>\n

This example clearly plays off of number 1. Where the hues in n.1 blend more, this one shows more contrast. Not tons, but some. the Kona Earth looks much different that the Kona Honey above.<\/p>\n

I made some changes to the circles to try to get some brighter colors and the pink kind of fulfilled that dream. I do think that the colors Rivera and Kahlo use are a bit on the dull side – not horrible, but not as bright as I was looking for. Still, the Deep Rose and Gold look great together.<\/p>\n

Another detail I took was of this little owl. The fruit behind him\/her makes it look like s\/he has a big yellow beak, but I think the beak is actually small. I was fascinated by the feathers. I also liked the shape of his body. I don’t know if it is real or mythological owl (creature), but s\/he is cute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
