About The Artwork The tide rolls on, on the big days of summer, full of youth and passion, I look to capture a piece of that. The painting is ocean just meeting the sand, spilling over rocks, spun in seaweed and shells. Calligraphy and flora are found in brushstroke's building, layering over each other, one just ever so transparent through the last. The painting's color is pungent, hued in heat and temptation while just as innocent as crystal in morning sun on cold salty water.

It's a tough discussion, the Blue Debate. I mean, how do you possibly choose the perfect blue? There's the sophisticated, dignified, thoroughly distinguished blue that is navy. (Which I have always had a soft spot for. And I suspect half of Paris does too, judging by their wardrobes.) There's the rich glamour of royal blue. There's the crisp smartness of French blue, which always reminds me of dress shirts and school uniforms. And finally, there's the soft elegance of periwinkle blue; a blue that's so quietly beautiful, it makes all other blues look flashy by comparison. Some people think periwinkle blue is simply a pale, watered-down blue, but it actually has a hint of mauve swirled through it. It's a delicate blue and it can be difficult to do. If the paint is tinted too dark it can turn out to be lavender. Too light and it fades to a wishy-washy shade. It can also be difficult to decorate with, or dress in. Many designers and decorators suggest using it as a dominant feature, which shows off its loveliness, rather than hiding it behind another principal colour such as white. Personally, I love seeing it with a sweep of glossy black; a colour combination that's unexpectedly glamorous and surprisingly sexy. However you feel about periwinkle (or plumbago, porcelain, sky blue, or whatever else you want to call it), one thing seems certain: it's sneaking its way into the fashion and design worlds. Just look at how much of it was in Chanel's Spring-Summer 2012 show. In fact, many people think that pale blue, and its equally delicate and elegant cousin pale turquoise, could be the colour(s) to watch in 2012 and 2013. {Above image via the inimitable Rodney Smith.} "It's an ahhh colour!

Look at that blue. It's so unusual for a hotel facade, isn't it? But so perfect for the elegant architecture, the petite size and the gorgeous, glorious, sun-kissed Spanish setting. {Via www.hotelferrero.com} Pale blue in a French-style interior. I've misplaced the credits for these images and I wish I hadn't because I adore this space. Look at the silk-taffeta drapes, the high-gloss floor, the stunning armoire... If you know whose home this is, please do let me know so I can credit accordingly. My old apartment in South Yarra. The stripes on the walls were painted in Porter's Paints' Nebular blue (low sheen and pearl gloss), which gave the tiny space the feel of a French salon. (Curiously, it also made the space seem larger.) Oh, how I loved this blue! I'd love to do another apartment in the same colour palette. JK Place hotel in Florence. I never tire of staring at this beautifully designed space. In this image, the blue looks more turquoise, but in real life it's a pale blue. And while not strictly periwinkle, it's very much in the same family of pale blue hues. My favourite Jonathan Adler sofa. In fact, this could be my favourite sofa ever. Look at those sexy lines. Doesn't it make you want to pour a martini or a gin and tonic, slip into a white silk dressing gown and spend an entire evening watching episode after episode of Mad Men? {Via jonathanadler.com} A few of the spectacular pieces from Oscar de la Renta's recent collection.

Para comprender mejor la importancia de la catedral en la ciudad italiana sirva como anécdota que el trazado de las calles de Milán irradia del Duomo, lo que nos permite sopesar el importante lugar que ocupaba este monumento en la antigua ciudad romana de Mediolanum, aunque los orígenes de la ciudad se remonta a los celtas. El origen de la catedral se remonta a la construcción de la Basílica de San Ambrosio a comienzos del s. V, siéndole agregada en el año 836 una basílica próxima. Cuando un devastador incendio daño a ambos edificios en 1075, ambas fueron reemplazadas por el Duomo, gracias a la iniciativa del arzobispo Antonio da Saluzzo, quien en 1386 comenzaría el nuevo proyecto, de estilo gótico, en una labor que duraría generaciones. La torre principal fue coronada en el año 1762 con una estatua policromada de la Virgen, la "Madonnia", a quien está dedicada y que actualmente representa el punto más alto de la catedral y también uno de sus signos más representativos. Finalmente la catedral, tal y como la conocemos, fue finalizada en la decada de 1880, con sus 157 metros de largo, 108.5 metros de largo y capacidad para, y nunca mejor dicho, 40.000 almas. Su interior está formado por 5 inmensas y muy luminosas naves, destacando las ventanas del coro, que tienen la reputación de ser las más grandes del mundo. La catedral de cinco naves de ancho se reflejan en las aberturas de la fachada jerárquico. Incluso los brazos del crucero tienen pasillos. Las grandes ventanas del coro tienen la reputación de ser la más grande del mundo. Por último, citar a Mark Twain hablando de la catedral y que quizá pueda ofrecer una visión más abstracta pero a la vez más concreta a tod@s aquell@s que no la hayan visitado: "¡Qué maravilla es! Tan grande, tan solemne, tan inmensa! Y sin embargo, tan delicada, tan eterea, tan gracil! Un universo sólido y pesado y sin embargo parece... una ilusión que podría desaparecer con un simple soplo!" -------- The street plan of Milan, with streets either radiating from the Duomo or circling it, indicates that the Duomo occupied the most important site in the ancient Roman city of Mediolanum. However, celtic people were first inhabitants of the city. Saint Ambrose built a new basilica on this site at the beginning of the 5th century, with an adjoining basilica added in 836. When fire damaged both buildings in 1075, they were rebuilt as the Duomo. In 1386 the archbishop, Antonio da Saluzzo, began the new project in a rayonnant Late Gothic style. Work proceeded for generations. The main spire was topped in 1762 with a polychrome statue of the Madonna, to whom the Duomo and its predecessor have always been dedicated. The rest of the Duomo was largely complete in the 1880s. Milan's Duomo is the second largest Catholic cathedral in the world: only Seville Cathedral is larger (and St. Peter's Basilica doesn't count because it's not a cathedral). Milan Cathedral is 157 meters long and 40,000 people can fit comfortably within. Mark Twain, a great fan of the Duomo, can take over the description from here: "What a wonder it is! So grand, so solemn, so vast! And yet so delicate, so airy, so graceful! A very world of solid weight, and yet it seems ...a delusion of frostwork that might vanish with a breath!..."
