Picking Paint: Let Nature Be Your Guide

Spring is just around the corner and with the emotional anticipation of its arrival our minds welcome visions of nature's confirmations that indeed, warmer sun filled days are upon us. We look for signs everywhere but none are more emphatic than the peek-a-boo colour of the first crocuses; the happy yellow of daffodils and the bright hues of the tulips against the lush and endless shades of spring's newly budding greens! It's as if Nature knows exactly what our winter-weary bodies need to feel that spark of energy that comes with the promise of renewal as the cycle of life begins again. It's little wonder that a simple pot of flowers can bring the biggest of smiles to even the most tired face.

Nature's propensity for using colour to facilitate our safe and harmonious living on this beautiful planet is nothing short of miraculous, a subject which I have broached in my newest e-Book – Colour Sensabilities. I have also touched upon the wisdom of using Nature as an expert reference when you are wrestling with your own interior colour decisions in my latest article for Our Homes Magazine.
