I’m trying to hang on to summer over here! Even though it stays warm well into November in middle Georgia. Can you just imagine lounging in your pink peacock chair with a margarita in hand, gazing at your pool post-swim in the late afternoon? Sign me up! I have always loved a peacock chair - they always add a fun 70’s vibe to a room! This piece I call “SPLASH” would certainly look pretty in a pool cabana surrounded by fresh, happy accents. Maybe in Palm Beach, Bermuda or perhaps in Sotogrande, Spain as depicted in the photo below by Slim Aarons.

My girls are constantly begging me to paint their room PINK! I understand dearly because I had a glorious pink room as a child. I don’t think I could have lived in there unless it was painted the pinkest pink we could find. As an artist, I have found many many many versions of pink. From the hottest neon magenta to ballet slipper pink, I adore all shades.. I found a gentler version of pink in the background of my collage below. It could possibly carry little girls through the teenage years a bit better than my former pepto pink room allowed. I also think it’s fun to mix in different shades of pink in my paintings. I think just about every painting I’ve ever done has at least a smidge of pink in one shade or another. It always seems to add that extra, unexpected touch. I never feel like I’m truly finished with a painting unless the pink is applied.
