Mexico Has Changed My Relationship With Color


My sense of color has certainly changed while being in Mexico. It's as if there is not a color that could be too bright for me. 

Yellow? I love the shade that yells "Good Morning!" Blues? I want the Caribbean. Reds? Don't give me a sophisticated burgundy. I want a red that almost tips into orange. For the first time in my life I like orange and lime green... two colors that I never would have gone near in my previous life.

I find myself repeatedly drawn to "Stiletto Love" red and "Pensive Plum" for my paintings. I also can't get enough of "Sockeye" peach, "Pacific Coast Blue", and anything copper or gold.

What colors are you drawn to for your creative works?
