Hunting is Difficult

The Scavenger Hunts are getting harder for me.  Mainly because I feel I have sketched everything in our house at least once.  Some more often.  I guess for variety I am going to have to use different media.  The problem with that is that I can't put it in the big book and it looks like the big book isn't half full yet, it is taking forever.  Choices, choices.

Number 5, bulletin board type - I used the rain gutter shelves above my computer.  I have lots of stuff there, paintings, cards, toys, photos, notes, a $2 bill ??, etc.  My bulletin board of sorts.

Number 6, hanging on the wall - stuff

Speaking of choices, I was looking over Jennifer Rose's blog this morning. https://plus.google.com/103875235243683912364   I usually just comment on her sketches and 3-D drawings/sculptures.  She has a post on Wednesdays called, Wordless Wednesday.  A recent post had some orange flowers in one photo and some fushia flowers in the other.  I was immediately drawn to the pink/redder photo.  Why is that?  What causes our preferences in color?

The only time I recall sort of studying that was years ago there was a fad going about what colors you should wear depending on what "season" you fall into.  I'm a winter.  Winter people wear pure red leaning toward purple. Other colors were navy, white, black.  Fits with me.   Fall folks wear orange and brown.  I was happy not to be a fall person.  Ha.  This blog explains that faze.  Evidently it is still going on:  https://www.colormepretty.co/categories-2/4-season-color-analysis/

How do you feel about your color season?  What is your favorite color?  Red is usually my pick.  I used to go with blue, but not all colors of blue.  I feel drab when I wear powder blue.  I like turquoise and teal.  Navy.  Most purples.

My most un-favorite colors are brown, orange and yellow.  I don't mind wearing a dark chocolate brown  but anything lighter is taboo, especially beige!  Brown for the Hunts has to be wood, very little brown items otherwise in our house.   When we have yellow on the Hunt list there are so few yellow things around here.  Yellow is usually a cleaning cloth or tool with a yellow handle or case.  Orange is hard except for the fruit and the burnt orange of the Texas Longhorns.  I wear orange for the baseball games but that is it!

I'm pretty sure these colors show in my paintings as well.  I rarely get excited about painting a fall scene.  When I do, things lean toward the reds of fall.  I color on my phone and iPad with an app called Pigment.  I was looking at the ones I have colored and there are few with brown.  They suggest a palette  and when it is brown, I lean to the mauve/reddish colors.  It is a fun app by the way.  Good to while away the time and not think.  I click and fill.  You know how impatient I am to actually color, like with colored pencil.  The app has that option, not my favorite part, but you already know that.

No conclusions, just more questions......
