ROYGBV week: Blue

You really can't talk blue without thinking Yves Klein (blue). His Vénus d'Alexandrie (venus bleue) 1962

This time last spring I was in Paris. So many doors, so many blues.  Here are a few that I collected.

Last summer still buzzing from Paris inspiration, I painted my closet  a gloss turquoise on a whim. Baseboards to ceiling! A photographic series organically emerged out-of-the-closet the following weeks. True Value from the S(h)elf Portrait series. Hoping to set up a little etsy shop for my smaller works.

Fell from the sky? Found quite inexplicably on the driveway (inland). A little macabre, but still hauntingly beautiful.
