[photos: Adam Wallacavage]We were reading this great interview of one of our favourite artists, Jim Houser, at Fecal Face (don't let the name scare you...it's a great art site), when we realized that Houser's works make for a great resource for colour inspiration. A couple more examples below the cut....
[photos: Adam Wallacavage]Houser's eye for colour reminds us very much of Martha Stewart's preferred palette, although he's recently diverged from his earlier spectrum:
"I like red and blue and variations of red and blue. That's the direction it seems to be going. Browns and tans. No more pink. No more orange. No more green. Even my black is just super dark blue or brown. My white has blue or brown in it. Sea water, dog fur, and dried blood. That's my inspiration."

I love that green. The vintage farmhouse dining chairs in my reviled apartment are that color.

I too love that green. I painted my kitchen "Celadon" green with buttery-yellow cabinets and white, white trim. A soft pale green and white or light yellow together--YES!
