Great hotels with color and art


 This hotel, The Ring, in Vienna, Austria is so vibrant and colorful. This is a shot of their restaurant. Most of the examples in this article in CN Traveler look wonderfully eclectic and interesting. Here is the link to their site The Ring Hotel Vienna.

Color Palettes - slides & paint


At work yesterday, I was pulling poor quality 35mm slides from the Ithaca College slide collection. I was choosing the slides to de-accession primarily based on color. Slides have three dye layers (cyan, yellow & magenta). When the cyan and yellow layers have disintegrated, only magenta is left. However, I happen to have all levels of red, magenta, cyan, yellow, and purple shades here. The palette of colors here is wonderful to view.

Last night I had dinner with some friends, one of whom is a painter (David Schaffner). He uses a piece of glass as his palette and this example is from one that he recently retired. I loved the contrast of the two different mediums, one - 35mm slides mounted in glass mounts, the other paint on glass.
