Catalog Daydreaming

Posted in Musing About Art

Catalog Daydreaming

Dreams —-> Enter Here. That's what I think when I see a big thick catalog in my mail box. There is something  wonderful about a big catalog arriving unexpectedly in the mailbox. Looking through pages of paint color samples, brushes of all shapes, pastels, canvases, and lots and lots of art supplies is such a idea generator. 

New cataog goodies

Thick catalogs are becoming an unusual sight in these digital times. Is it going the way of horse and buggies? Will I be rambling on about catalogs only to have my future grand kids give me a blank stare and ask what a catalog is?……. !

I am going to scoop up this catalog before it becomes a relic of the past, and open the pages and daydream about new colors, how to use that odd shaped brush, and generate new ideas for paintings.   : )

  1. The hardest part is getting your digital colors look the same on screen and paper 🙂 Things have changed tremendously in the past few years, haven't they!

  2. Yes, I say, hang onto it. Is the JC Penny & Sears catalogs still around?

    I feel the same way about fabric catalogs, and I got one of my favorites in the mail today.
