Color Matching Tool

The other day on Pinterest, I stumbled upon the neatest color tool.  Teresa McFayden had color matched her work-in-progress painting to Sherwin-Williams paint colors! It's called the Chip It! tool and you can get it HERE.

I had to give it a try with some of my work....

Not only can you color match your own artwork, but your photos, too!

Next I tried the Chip It! tool on some of my ribbon from my Etsy shop, which are loaded with color...

The Sherwin-Williams Chip It! color matching tool can be used on photos you find online, as well, plus you can save and organize your pics into albums, called Chipbooks.

I had a lot of fun playing with this tool!! 

Have a ball...

warm wishes,

Life Is Beautiful- A World Of Inspiration

The world shines about me,

luminous as the moon, smiling like a rose,

and a sweet benediction flows through everything existing.

How beautiful life is.

Hamza El Din

Life is beautiful don't you think?  Each day I 

marvel at the beauty that surrounds me.

Like this pretty pink rose with rain kissed petals that stood proud in my garden.

All around us there is BEAUTY

"The eye is the most refined of our senses, the one which communicates most directly with our mind, our consciousness".

Ronald Dahl 

The world around us can be a wonderful influence in the art we create.  Nature and color are a beautiful inspiration for our creative hearts.

I love this pretty painting by Rebecca Sower

I found this nature inspired painting on Pinterest

Look how color comes to play in these wonderful but simple paintings by Christina Romeo

(I adore the beautiful simplicity created with beautiful color)

I am so thankful for this beautiful world we live in- for the magic and color it brings.  

I am always inspired by it.

Remember to slow down from this busy world in which we live.  Take time to explore…..
