What's your favorite color?
This month mine is turquoise.
Despite having been traumatized in high school...
By a minimalist building with turquoise panels.
In the '60s I blamed it all on Frank Lloyd Wright
who favored the color. Here's his posthumous 1962 Marin County Civic Center Building
with the roof....
in swimming pool aqua.
The Wright look trickled down to vernacular architecture.
Most of those panels did not hold up well aesthetically or colorwise, fading over the decades.
Now I love the color.

I have always liked turquoise but am dismayed that so many of the pictures "speak" to me, the a time long ago. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat first ebay quilt is now hanging on a ladder in my guest bedroom...lots of turquoise there!
ReplyDeleteGood buy!
ReplyDeleteI learned to love turquise in 1963 when Freddy, who had been in USA for some years, came home with a car much like the one above. What he came home to was a small island, with 25 inhabitants, in Denmark. The car was some wider than the road.
