Adoring the work of Wayne Pate found via Urban Grace this morning.

February Grays

I achieved the perfect gray wall color by custom-mixing Benjamin Moore at Edgartown Hardware (color not shown).   I was looking for that delicate balance of pale, warm, neutral gray that would blend seemlessly with my furnishings - never appearing too dreary.  If you're looking for gray, ask John Montes for Lisa's Latte (my custom-mix - it's in the computer).  Developing it took hours, so I'm saving you the time dump.  A palette of whites, grays, and mushroom-pale browns swirled together to achieve swatch after swatch on the wall - not to mention, a few trips back/forth to the hardware store.  I love it...and everyone who comes by, compliments the color and asks what it is.  Sorry I don't have the formula to hand out...but if you live elsewhere, try giving John a call.

EH is not located on Main Street, anymore...they moved to Edgartown/W. Tisbury Rd...the vacant white building, across from the old Edgartown School.  Easier parking...that's a good thing when you have several gallons of paint to carry. 

Artwork by my imaginative, little G.  He loves sharks.  I love his art.

Last of the Tall Ships

Over the last decade, photography has quickly excelled to become THE collectible, in art.  Maybe the digital age has something to do with it...there is nothing like the quality of film...just imagine the effort and knowledge it took, to produce these pieces.  Simply enthralled with the Tall Ship work of Alan Villiers - shot in the early 30's.  I was first drawn to the attention of them, by White and Wander.
