If you were asked to close your eyes, and imagine a calming blue, my guess is that you would imagine a color very close to our newest Prairie Paint color, Sodus Point. Our Prairie Paint Collection feels a little more complete with this beautiful color in it.
When I saw this color, and closed my eyes to imagine where in my memory bank this soft grey-blue had been experienced before, my mind went to Ontario Lake and my childhood days on the sandy beach of Sodus Point. The water colors range from grey to soft blue and fade into the skyline with these colors in reflection up to the clouds.
Water has a calming sense to my soul, running and moving water even more. As I have painted with Sodus Point, the color remains true to it's name, an old calm blue. This past summer we had the chance to spend a day at the beach with my family, walking the beach, collecting rocks and visiting the light house. It was a fun day, and refreshed the childhood memories of the colors and feelings I experienced there as a child.
This color brings the total in our Prairie Paint Collection to sixty four. It has become a collection of vintage inspired colors that have been inspired by the colors and memories of my home in Upstate New York. We have painted with these paints for three years now, using them in classes and workshops in all four corners of the country. I am very proud of this collection and the formula that makes our gel-chalk paint so smooth with amazing coverage.
We have used the Prairie Paints on interiors, exteriors, furniture, fabric and of course our extensive barn quilt collection. It is my preferred paint, and I can say that our customers have loved it too. There is nothing like it, in composition and in color.
We hope that you will find the colors that speak to you in your soul, in your color memory bank, in our Prairie Paint Collection. They are all available in our shop.
