It's that time again: Pantone has announced its Color of the Year for 2015. And the winner is..."Marsala". Yes, the color of Marsala wine. Said to be rich and full-bodied, "naturally robust and earthy".
I have written before about Pantone's annual announcement, so if you have been reading, you know that I have mixed feelings about being told what color is "in". I have read
mixed reviews of the Marsala color. I hope it is not the start of a return to the dusty mauve shades of the 1980's. Despite the objections of some naysayers, the color is already showing up in fashion and home accessories.
In the spirit of the times, I share the only painting in my studio that comes close to the Marsala tones. It is part of my Garments Series. Enjoy!
