Crazy or Artistic?

I am strongly considering painting my living/dining area black.

Today while at Lowe's I picked up samples of Cracked Pepper & Jet Black in Valspar and Black Magic in Olympic. I want a true black without a hint of another color.

I think that black on the walls will make all the art work pop!

But I'm wondering what to do about window treatments.

Is this idea crazy or artistic? I was told not to make my blog background black. But I did and I like it.

Tidewater

I have been setting up the gallery, cleaning the studio, and painting the background for a mural. That's where the "tidewater" comes from. Have you ever wondered how names are picked for colors? Like what does "tidewater" look like. What would be your guess? Unfortunately I can't show you; I don't have a way to scan the color in to the computer. I used it for the sky; starting at the horizon I made it as light as I possibly could and deepened it as I went higher on the wall and ceiling. What should I add to my landscape? Any suggestions?

Color

Wow! Look at that color. The colors of the garden are so inspiring: the red tomatoes, the orange carrots, the green peppers, and there were purple flowers on the basil. God's visual treat for us to enjoy, all the colors of nature. What an awesome mind thought of the concept color.
