What’s your favourite colour?
'Harvest' by Amy Clarke 2011. Oil on canvas. 450mm x 600mm
As an artist, colour has always been my first love. It is a wonderful way to convey emotion and a feeling. There have definitely been times in my practice where I have been drawn to the dark or the light – perhaps a reflection of my internal world. I find it so exciting when I come across a striking colour combination. This can be anywhere and in the most unexpected places. I have even been inspired by the colour descriptions in a good book. At the moment the Australian native grevilleas are in full bloom and I am loving the mass plantings on the road side near Noosa – earthy yellows, purples and greens. Has anyone else noticed the incredible palette in this year’s Burberry collection – hot off the catwalk in London Fashion Week?
An artist who has an innate sense of colour is the wonderful Idris Murphy.
Where have you seen some great colour lately?
Colour is everything, something that says a lot about those who use it to their advantage. I would say my favorite colours are the colours of sunset/sunrise. the reds through orange and yellows to almost white. No two colours the same.
