I recently came across the most beautiful magenta linen fabric (pictured above) and couldn’t resist buying several yards of it even though I had no real plans on where or how it would be used. The vividness of the color was just so alluring to me I knew it would be a mistake if I passed it up. Several days later I revisited a favorite Cy Twombly painting in my inspiration files and immediately knew why I was so attracted to the magenta fabric– they’re a perfect pair! Wherever this fabric ends up I think I’ll take a cue from Cy and mix in some pinks and Hermes orange for good measure.







what a beautiful, rich hue. and yes, would be gorgeous with hermes orange!

Love Cy’s work. I’m hoping to make a tie-dye shower curtain in similar color scheme. Saving this one for the files!
I love love love hot and vivid colors together. That violet will look fantastic with Hermes orange!
oooh, I’m lovin’ your color scheme … and always always love Cy
