Nature’s Colour Schemes

Colours to Brighten Your Mind

Bright subtropical plants reminiscent of the vibrant colours painted on Mexican Architect, Luis Barrigan’s building - ’Casa Gilardi’.  Ricardo Legoretta, another inspiring Mexican Architect, also embraced these strong bright hues. Legoretta once said about his process “I don’t select colour, I feel it”.   The selection of colour is an integral part of their designs.

The majestic Hippeastrum – otherwise known as Amaryllis.  Bring them inside while they flower for a stunning display of attitude.  I used these to dress an interior recently, they really do make a beautiful statement.

The wisteria in my garden is in full bloom, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the wind has stopped… for a moment

 

 

Colours Around Us

 Take time to look, and really see, it is amazing what is there, and we pass every day. I took this photo right outside my gate.  These bright golden yellow fungi were growing on this blackened log amongst the leaves.

It’s Autumn Again

And the colours are just as beautiful. I shot these images at the Hamilton Gardens.
