Posted by Irene Turner in Interior Design & Renovation on December 31, 2009
As we enter the new year let’s look at how we enter our home. Entrances to our home are important on many levels:
- It’s the first thing people see when they arrive, therefore the first impression
- It’s how we travel from the outside to the inside, physically, emotionally and metaphorically
- It’s how we welcome our guests, and more importantly our Selves
- It’s how we make a statement as to who we are
- It’s how we transition into our space

It’s Turquoise for 2010!
Posted by Irene Turner in Color on December 29, 2009
As we approach the new year Pantone, the global authority on color, and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, has announced PANTONE® 15-5519 Turquoise, as the color for 2010. A blend of blue and green, shades of turquoise have a calming effect. This in-between color represents water, thus the names aqua and aquamarine. It’s also a valuable and popular mineral often turned into jewelry. Turquoise symbolizes intuition and communication. And, turquoise is a mainstay in all art forms from the Middle East and the American Southwest. Continue reading “It’s Turquoise for 2010!” »

Photography as Art
Posted by Irene Turner in Art on December 14, 2009
Every now and then I run across an artist who’s work truly inspires me. Devadatta Best is one such fine art photographer.
There is a sublime spiritual quality in his work, no matter the subject, that comes across and moves my soul.
And the range of his subject matter is amazing…From:
- Human portraits that capture the inner essence of a person
- Wild Life action photography that captures a moment making you feel as if you were present
- Flowers illuminated in such a way that their beauty is seen as a true work of art
- Water…the new oil…presented with such focus that you can see the value of each drop
- And his wonderful photos of deities that capture both power and passion
- Crystal worlds and galaxies as seen by immersion into the crystal itself
Whatever the subject is he captures the energy, the essence! Therefore, calling his photography “Light Inspired Art” is perfect. It is light and feels divinely inspired. Continue reading “Photography as Art” »
