It has been so hot in the office today (we really need an air conditioner). I'm sure we can't be the only ones in a hot office on this baking day so I thought I would post some refreshing blues to cool us all down.
Above is my Mughal patchwork painting, featured in our Patchwork range of cards.

Even though I love blue, for some reason I hardly ever paint in it unless I'm feeling a little fedup ( literally a case of the blues!). It's strange because blue is my favourite colour. I love the ever changing blues of the sea,
the vivid lilac blues of a bluebell field (I went to a small village school and this was pretty much the view from our classroom during May),
or a more pale turquoise blue as on the neckline of this Anzu turquoise dress painting.
the soft grey of a Wedgwood blue as on this Anzu dressing table card,
the deep intense blues of Iznik tiles,
the clear blues of a Canaletto sky,
the Ming porcelain blues of a Cavalli dress,
the incredible underwater blues of a David Doubilet photograph (my favourite)
or a more pale turquoise blue as on the neckline of this Anzu turquoise dress painting.
