LATE VICTORIAN COLOR

Walking in London last month I saw this. Late Victorian tiles. Who knew? COLOR! PERMISSION! From curb to center of your house, vanishing threshold. Color, style, theme, intelligence, wit.
.
Weedy looking 'weed' edging the path is Forget-Me-Not. Pure SOPHISTICATION.
.
Can you imagine the blue blossoms spilling along the edge of the path? Calendar Shot.....
.
This morning, watching the dawn thru my baywindow, I glanced up from reading the NYTimes. 'Oh my gosh, the sky is the same color as those pathway tiles in London.'
.
A color splash lasting moments but still transmitting serotonins-dopamine-crack thru neural pathways.
.
Does color affect you this way?

You are right! Customers are always amazed at the added depth and eye-catching appeal of color to their landscapes.
