The Colour Magenta = Harmony and Emotional Balance

Spring is in the air! The flowers are in full bloom, trees beaming with fresh leaves sprouting from their branches. My fascination with colour is at an all time high as I walk through the streets seeing vibrant colours in nature, fashion and all forms of visual communication.

The colour of this week is Magenta, it encourages common sense and balance in all forms; spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. It's a colour of peace and joy. Here are some magenta inspired images to bring out all the positive qualities this colour represents. Enjoy!

Piece of the week - Newtown, Sydney

As I was walking through the streets of Newtown, I came across this piece which stopped me in my tracks. It was off the main road King Street. The combination of colours and blending of the elements make this a standout piece of the week. There's something about the freedom of expressing ones art on walls which makes it so appealing. Stay tuned for more funktified street art from around the world. We're going international on this one, representing worldwide baby... yeah! =D
