I spied this pic on KWID – Kelly Wearstler’s design site. I stopped and stared. I mean, the colors, the boldness, the strokes…it’s playful and yet grounded by serious design sense. I believe that what I like most is that it shows uber-creative thinking — it didn’t need a grand gesture of talent to make a startling impact…and yet, you know this artist has talent to spare. Oh, yes. Not for everyone but totally out of the box and beyond left field. I wonder who came up with this concept — Ms. Wearstler or was it an imagining by her decorative artisan? [I think it was painted since if you look at the upper right hand side, the coral design flows outside the wall line a bit. Wallpaper seams would make that overstep unseemly.] You can find another pic of the area and more beautiful imagery in her book, Hue. Let me know your opinion, I’m very curious…
