I am, at heart, a lover of color. Our surroundings have so much to offer and the endless hues of color adds interest, spark and happiness to our existences.
Personally I am fond of using color in a non-generic way. To me, it adds to the freshness of it. The surprise. The delight.
I also tend to use unusual combinations. In my art and design I have come to learn about the undertones of pigment. How one color compliments and pulls out of another.
Here; a man in Soho, brings delight through the use of both color and a successful juxtaposition of texture, pattern and form. The polka dot lapel reverse. The tomato red collar reverse. The striped sox. The tweed jacket. The felt hat. The cotton pants. The shiny loafers. On a concrete side-walk with iron steps and painted walls, i find this most pleasing.
Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea. But certainly something that makes me smile.
