TheOrangeBlind

Photo Details
Poster: retro  (see this users gallery)

The Orange Blind by one of the four so-called Scottish colourists, Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell, is one of my favourite paintings from the Art Deco era. That combination of orange and teal is quite stunning and dramatic. I could look at this for hours wondering who these people are, why there are 4 tea cups, who has left the room, why the lady is still wearing her hat…..

This is a very interesting room indeed, there is so much to look at and ponder. Wonderful picture and page!

I don't have the answers to these questions, but I sure would like to step into the painting, have some tea and ask her about her myself. This is really pretty Helen!

You raised some good questions and had me studying the photo longer...the hat...wasn't at that time most were not seen in public without one? Pretty page and amplified by your lovely kit!

You keep coming up with stunning pages with A New Dawn! This is indeed intriguing and I love how you echo the colors in the title. I can almost hear the piano and feel the warmth of the atmosphere. But I'm sure ladies kept their hats on then. And, wow, I believe that's a fainting couch!

Yes, and what music the man is playing in the background. The teal of your kit is a perfect foil for the Orange Blind.
