Parts of Art

1.  Agreement in feeling or opinion; accord:  live in harmony. 2.  A pleasing combination of elements in a whole:  color harmony; the order and harmony of the universe. The Free dictionary.com So I am looking for harmony-in thought, in art, in music, in my relationships, in life.  The thing about harmony is that even if all the elements are different and seem to be unrelated, it only takes one similarity to harmonize them all.  This photo is of the booth I set up when I participate in fine art shows. My goal is to have a very streamlined and uncluttered look, one that simply says one thing: art to wear. The colors and lines are a pleasing combination of elements.  If you take a look at my former booth from my blog archives, I think you will see that there is more harmony now. What do you think? 

One way visual harmony is achieved is by use of color. Colors harmonize when they are similar to one another, either in their tone, tint,  or hue. Even contrasting colors harmonize with each other when they are balanced by size, shape, direction, line or texture. My lovely client came into my booth wearing a fuschia scarf with a geometric pattern. We found earrings to harmonize her look. The earrings are similar in color and line.  How do you think we did? What would you do differently? To see more jewelry pieces that harmonize, go to sandyartparts.etsy.com
