on painting II







This post is not about wall paintings, it's all about lip colours! Actually about my favourite one, the one which  always fits and which never fails to lift up my spirits. It's Ruby Woo by Mac.

I started thinking about mat lipsticks when I watched  "Easy Virtue" some years ago. Jessica Biel looked super amazing in all those Twenties' style mat lipsticks. I loved them all, the berries, the brownish and especially the bright reds...

on painting























In the end it's all about pigments. Their origin , their amount, their very special character...  As for wall painting I'm addicted to the colours of Farrow&Ball. They are so subtle, so elegant.... Yes, I know, I know: it's a personal and an emotional thing.

However I'm happy that we now have a stockist in Dresden. Time to think about a makeover for my guest room, west-oriented, with a big red-leaved tree in front. So  I imagine a very soft and bright pink for it.





























This, for example, is the colour Rectory Red in my hallway.

































Talking about colours, we have got a new attraction at Pirnaischer Platz in Dresden:  two traffic islands painted in ocean blue! The colour has been chosen to remind past times when this place has been a lake area.
It's impressing how these blue traffic islands inspire people's fantasy. In the biggest rush hour there has been a man relaxing on a sunbed, yesterday  a flashmob had brought plastic ducklings.
