I work in a little store that sells a little bit of a lot of different things! We have home decor, some furniture, hardware, garden supplies, kitchen wares, fishing gear, keys and paint. One of my favorite things to do is mix paint.
It astounds me that you can take a little black, some deep yellow, and a smidge of violet mixed in a 5 gallon bucket of base 1 white paint and come up with a color called "Antique White" which is a creamy tan color! How does that work? Or take a gallon of paint and put some green, black and a little of the deep yellow and get a color called "Caribbean Celebration" which is the color of the ocean sweeping up onto white sandy beaches so I've been told. LOL Something I will experience one day!
Today I mixed a color called Florida Gold. It is an orange-ish color, bright and cheerful! I was excited! I love mixing colors that are different from "the norm". By the time I was finished I had the lovely Florida Gold splattered from the inside of the mixer to the legs of my black jeans and all over the floor! The lid had not sealed properly! Ugh! I had created a masterpiece!
I can't say that the rest of my day went better, it didn't. But I did get to paint! HA There is always more than one way to follow a dream!
