30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 11, Orange Shade
Jan 11 2016 ·0You’ve probably guessed the color for my next series of paintings ;-).
For this painting, I was inspired by a piece of artwork I saw while visiting the galleries of Provincetown on Cape Cod. Dreaming of sunny days at the beach, as always this time of year.
Pamela's Posh Picks: Patio Umbrellas
Apr 27 2012 ·0Spring has definitely sprung! The earth is covered in green and beautiful flowering trees and bulbs punctuate the landscape with vibrant pops of color. I’ve already been enjoying time out on my terrace and as always, am looking foward to many more hours outside as the even warmer weather approaches. Of course we don’t always want to be in the sun when we’re out on our decks and patios, sometimes you need a little bit of shade. This weeks Posh Picks are all about creating shade while maintaining style. Enjoy!
The Shadylace Parasol is “stencil-cut to allow beams and dapples of sunshine through, giving a natural quality of light and shade”.
The lacey leaf pattern is so unique and lovely, giving you the feeling of sitting under a maple tree. Did you notice the golden bird finial at the top? Whimsical perfection!
The Pagoda Umbrella from Pier 1 is full of painterly personality with a bohemian-Asian vibe.
I envision lots of colorful floor pillows in piles underneath for lounging . Pure fun….
The Emberglow patio umbrella with its’ sophisticated orange and white pattern would be a perfect compliment with white or dark patio furniture~
Doesn’t every umbrella look just a wee bit better with tassels? This Carousel Gingko umbrella certainly does!
Wouldn’t it be fun to embellish the edges of a plain market umbrella with tassels or a scallop edge trim? Of course there’s always the perennial favorite tiny white fairy lights. So many great options for great looking shade!
Finally, this tiki-inspired Palapa umbrella. I first saw this style of umbrella at my friend Susan’s pool and I fell in love with it. Susan has this style of umbrella alongside her pink pool house and it looks great. This Posh Pick get points not only for sentimental reasons but also because I love the way the faux grass dances in the wind.
With so many great choices and creative options, have a great time selecting your summer umbrella (or 2!)
