This is one of my favorite color palettes this season- and aren't those tree peonies amazing? Why does the description "vintage" come to mind? It's the color. Remember Bakelite plastic jewelry? That is plastic cast, chunky jewelry popular in the 30's and 40's. It still has a following these days. Sort of vintage meets modern. The distinctive colors were bright with a little white and maybe brown or black mixed in.
So much to experiment with in floral design and color has been one of the the most elusive and difficult aspects for me. Many designers work with variations of one color. It's a safer way to handle the whole color dilemma and a very effective one. My background as a painter asks for more.
