| Chocolate ice cream prints of original paintings by Kim Testone |
Fun facts about me: I really love school. I have a bachelor’s degree in drawing, a master’s degree in arts administration, and I took a bunch of extra classes, too, including a number of courses in interior design. It’s been quite a while, but I do try to stay up a bit on the trends. Every fall, there’s a new trending list of colors that will be coming into style. These trending colors are in part decided by paint companies as well as organizations that specialize in color forecasts, like the Pantone Color Institute.
Anyway, so one of the color trends forecasted for the coming season is Chocolate Brown. Now, far be it from me to question what the color authorities say, but I painted a bathroom chocolate brown many years ago, and let’s just say it was something I’m not ready to commit to again. Probably ever.
So if you aren’t ready for chocolate brown walls yet, how about just putting some chocolate ice cream on the walls? Yes, I’m peddling my own wares, but seriously, these prints of my original ice cream paintings are pretty awesome. I put a lot of time into making them come out just right, with clean and modern white backgrounds, just like the paintings (which by the way, take me no less than 40 hours to complete, each).
Whimsical, charming, totally inedible. But quite the home design statement and a whole lot of fun. So really, make your walls fun…and chocolate-ty. I work really hard because I want the whole world to smile when they see my work.
Happy walls for all.
