Just visited the local hugely successful art fair this weekend. It seems
to me the trend is towards bright colors, which is, I think, Darwinian.
Even though the bright colors might jangle a bit at home, we, like
peahens to peacocks, are drawn to a bright display.
I'm not sure where that leaves subtlety, delicacy, and muted
tones--probably somewhere with the nice guys...
For myself, I have a bright and colorful banner to attract customers to
my tasteful and refined glazes...
