Sunset Boulevard, Valspar Signature collection
Classic. What would Gloria Swanson say if she knew she was being immortalized on a paint swatch from Lowes?
Lupine Pink, Martha Stewart Paint Collection
Though I’ve never planted lupines before, I have a special place in my heart for them. One of my favorite books from childhood was Miss Rumphius, aka the lupine lady, by Barbara Cooney. She had a beautiful, simple, yet elegant style. A classic children’s author and illustrator. Here is a quote to show how wise a woman she was:
On her receiving the Caldecott Medal in 1959:
“I believe that children in this country need a more robust literary diet than they are getting…. It does not hurt them to read about good and evil, love and hate, life and death. Nor do I think they should read only about things that they understand…. a man’s reach should exceed his grasp. So should a child’s. For myself, I will never talk down to—or draw down to—children.”
Sugared Pansy Pink, Martha Stewart Paint Collection
Makes me think of spring. Hope it makes you smile.
One of the craziest quotes of all time. I was a fan of Werner Herzog before seeing this excerpt from Burden of Dreams (a documentary following Herzog into the jungle) but this solidified it. I have to credit the Neistat Brothers for showing this clip from the movie within one of their HBO episodes. Jump to minute 1:17 to get the full experience. :-)
