The color pair for the last week of Summer of Color, hosted by Kristin at Twinkle, Twinkle is sepia and sage. I loved this combination and had picked out a quote to use, but once I finished creating my postcard with acrylic paint and stencils, this Henry James quote seemed to be a better fit: "Summer afternoon - summer afternoon, to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language."
I've really enjoyed the Summer of Color, and I have one extra post card left. So, I'm going to continue to play for one more week. If anyone wants to join in, feel free to come back here next Friday and I'll set up a linky. The color palette will be red/orange and sky blue!
Let me know in comments if you want to play along.

love the quote.
Beautiful combination! Your piece is fantastic!
You have added such a summery feel to colours which I thought to be rather autumnal, lovely!
I just love that quote...and it is so apt with the weather we are having at the moment.
Wonderful work and such a beautiful quote! I would've loved to have red-orange and sky-blue for the last week of SOC!
beautiful soft and warm piece - yes I'll play next week
Lovely postcard this week and super sentiment too. Thanks for visiting my owl. BJ
I like the abstractness of this one Rinda - the colours are most certainly reminiscent of an Australian summer.
It has a very African look to it, love it. Happy PPF.
Absolutely beautiful Rinda. Thanks for the colour suggestions
Beautiful creation!. Happy quote to go with it too :).
This was an interesting color combination, and once again you have executed it beautifully. Love the quote too!

The colors just shout summer afternoon to me. That's a great quote and one I haven't seen before.

WOW did you make a wonderful rendition using these colors; not easy colors to make beautiful and attractive. I really love yours...just so romantic! Heartfully, Samara shadowsideart.blogspot.ca
The quote is perfect, a great use of the SOC colours. Love the paint work and the writing as well. Great postcard.
This isn't a colour combo that I would have ever used but it looks lovely. I enjoy colour challenges for this very reason.
Great colours and thoughtful words
