The Neighbor's Painted Fence

  • Mariya Zvonkovich, her Sunlit Morning, pastel, 26”x30”, shown here, is the mother of my lovely neighbor. Mariya suggested the cedar plank fence be painted to match the house. Others had offered that suggestion but when Mariya spoke, that was it. Artists from around the country are obsessed to know the name of the paint color. Artists are like that. Can they handle this news? There is no official paint color name. The originally chosen paint chip is ‘Raffia’ by Ralph Lauren, but the paint base* and additives are Behr Brand. The result is lighter, more subtle. The look is very elegant. ‘Raffia’ is a bit harsh by comparison. Photo attempts to show you this lovely color have not been successful. No options; come by and see for yourself. PLEASE NOTE: ThreeChickenFarm cannot pay airfare or gasoline for your drive-by.

The pastel is lovely and I'm sure the fence is equal. With the price of gas I doubt I will do a drive-by soon but will keep it in mind.
