Palette Two

Palette Two is a studio colour palette created as a starting point for bespoke shades, paintings and interiors.

This palette offers a different colour direction, bringing together seven carefully considered shades that can be used as the foundation for a hand-painted piece, or adapted to suit your room, scheme or project. Inspired by my favourite people, places and paintings

1. Labenne Océan
A sea blue inspired by large surfing waves catching the light on the west coast of France and a heart full of love.

2. Vincent’s Cap
The colour of Van Gogh’s hat in Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear 1889, held at the Courtauld Galleries, London. This painting shows Vincent’s determination to continue painting in the cold.

3. Hodgkin Green
Exuberant bright green seen in so many of Howard Hodgkin’s stunning works that serve as a huge inspiration to my work.

4. Val de Loire
Childhood memories of picnics on the lush verdant riverbanks of the Loire River.

5. Coalport Vase
Inspired by the petrol blue of an exquisite vase designed by Coalport China that resides in my parents’ Drawing Room. Coalport China was founded by my ancestor, John Rose in 1795.

6. Hambledon Yew Forest
The view from Hod Hill, Dorset of the dark dense woods, where I must have walked a thousand times.

7. Labenne Sables
Sandy shores in the South of France where we lit fires at night and danced till dawn.
