Autun reminds us all of our love for color
Aside from the crisp air, Autumn is a magical time of year BECAUSE it brings color into our lives, invited or not. This season I challenge you to bring your love of color into your own life by making color a hobby and then applying it to... your walls!
As a colorist and designer I feel we have gone too far with Gray!
That said I’ll still take gray or another neutral any day over being subjected to yesteryears’ palette of dreadful “dining room red”, “home office evergreen or sage", "goes-with-nothing blue" and what I call "Developer Tainted Neutrals".
Many moons ago I studied color theory at Pratt to arrive at this discovery: There is no such thing as an ugly color. Ugly only happens when it's applied. So if you accept my color challenge, please take a pause and read on before proceeding.
While I'm willing to acknowledge the flexibility of a neutrally painted environment I have never been completely wowed by one unless, of course, I was in a fine art museum! My passion and specialty for the past decade is analyzing and selecting colors that enliven walls and spaces. Few things make me happier than setting-up family members or clients to experience the joy and power of living with color, especially when paired with original paintings. When redesigning a room, it is ideal if you can start with original paintings, then the furniture, then the flooring, and lastly deciding on the wall color. Since paint comes in every color and hue imaginable, the primary purpose of a paint color is to bridge these major visual elements into an palatable and cohesive environment.
Choosing a paint color: Where to start and how to do it right.
Schedule a meeting with family or colleagues to identify wall colors that lack appeal, personality, or interest. These will become your “subjects” to explore and tackle.
Discuss the current use of the room or space and decide if it will continue to be used in its currency capacity. For example an empty nester’s spare bedroom might now serve well as a home office (instead of messing up the kitchen island!)
Define a feeling that you hope to have when entering or occupying this space. A home example could include the serenity one senses in a sitting room verses the commotion of a multi-functioning family room. For an office remodel question whether or not your décor is outdated or nondescript. Does your environment present an image of confidence, forward-thinking and success to your clients or visitors, or is it stale?
Image the “subject” room in solid white. Now imagine a color you feel would work best taking into account the room’s temperament, natural and artificial lighting and its primary function. For a master bedroom I encourage you to pick a version of your favorite color. After all it’s your favorite for a reason! If you are a couple- no need to pull straws. Each of you is absolutely entitled to your favorite color. The goal then is to make certain the two colors selected compliment and balance one another.
Color as your new hobby. Before proceeding to your favorite paint source accept that this is an experience to be enjoyed, not stressed over. As with any hobby it will require time, thought and money. The biggest mistake people make is waking up on a Sunday morning and deciding to play HGTV in real life. Stop! Unless you’ve done your due diligence you’re setting yourself up for a disaster.
Know that the perfect color is absolutely achievable and within your budget and resources. Remember your new hobby is Color- not paint. Some cringe at the idea of purchasing more than two, maybe three, sample paints. This is a good time for me to reinforce that samples are a necessary step for success and that the odds are NOT in your favor when it comes to color behaving as predicted. For example, for one project I signed-off on 2 colors out of 3 (unbelievable!) but another project required 15 samples to arrive at 1 winner.
This is no time to be a copycat. Imitation is flattery but not when it comes to color. One cannot assume the color of the month at Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore is going to work successfully in your room, with your belongings, with your light sources. Likewise the paint color you’re wild about at your friend’s home most likely will not work the same in your home unless it is furnished and lit identically. Paint color is not a one-size-fits all medium.
Allow yourself to be creative... But question if you are proceeding in a trendy or garish way. When adding a new color or selecting more than one color to paint, please consider how it will relate (react) to adjacent rooms or hallway colors. Otherwise you could end up with what I call the Gymboree effect. Not exactly the look we are going for here! Also please consider the longevity of the color you are considering. Do you really want to live with a Kelly green kitchen for 10 years?
Allow yourself ample time to make solid decisions. I always start the process at least one to two weeks prior to scheduling my painter. This way I can witness the paint at morning, noon, and night as well as on bright days and dim days. A longer window also provides the benefit of evaluating contenders when you are in different moods as well as the perk of sleeping on it, several times. I think of this as the “marinating” period.
Once you make a decision do not let others talk you out of it, including your painter! You’ve spent time with your chosen color and at the end of the day it’s your call. My most successful bedroom project occurred when I didn’t allow my painter to talk me out of a really dark navy. He of course had no idea how strong the Naples sun illuminated the room in the morning only to awaken the sleeper. One exception for beginners is please purchase a sample quart instead of gallons… just to be sure. I also encourage you to "stop the show!" if you feel the project is not going as imagined.
If you decide that Color as a hobby isn’t exactly your calling that’s okay. You’re by no means alone if you opt to hire a colorist to do all or some of the steps for you. Sometimes it’s more cost-effective to bring in a colorist to provide a second opinion, or to tweak what you’ve already accomplished, before the paint hits the walls. Consulting with a colorist is far more common than you might think plus you're likely to receive valuable design direction for other areas in your home. Either way accept all compliments with a smile because at the end of the day... it was your decision to bring color into your life, and others!
Kind Regards,
Heather Roy

How to make paint color samples
My favorite materials to create samples are: 24" x 36" poster boards from a hardware store (since its overpriced at most paint stores) and a 4” mini-roller kit includes the handle, mini rollers and paint tray and of of course, paint. Properly prepare your sample poster boards by arranging them in a row, 6" apart, onto a huge sheet of clean, flat cardboard. Tape each posters four corners on its backside with blue painter’s tape. For full coverage make sure to roll the paint off the poster boards and onto the cardboard on all sides. Consistency of paint thickness will create an even depth of color continuously across the poster board. Coat One roll east and west, allow to fully dry. Coat Two roll north and south. Allow to fully dry. With a new razor blade cut alongside the border of each poster board with a yardstick to prevent it from peeling, tearing or ripping (without a blade damage to your samples is almost inevitable.) Know that depth of color, clean edges, and overall good craftsmanship matter with paint samples. Never paint color samples directly onto your existing wall. It is a nightmare to cover fresh paint. These “ghost” sample squares will likely require your painter to primer a wall or add a third coat resulting in an upcharge from the original quote on both material and labor. Never, ever skip the poster board sample step.

In 2004 ARTANA grew to include a second location in the neighborhood called Coolidge Corner on Beacon Street, Brookline, MA. In 2008 ARTANA made the big leap to Boston's Back Bay, to the corner of Boylston and Arlington Street, across from the Boston Common. In November of 2017 ARTANA opened its fourth location in Naples up-and-coming Design District.
The above photo was taken on June 7, 2000 in Framingham, MA, minutes before ARTANA's first exhibition "PANORAMA OF NEW ENGLAND ART"Every June Founder and Gallery Director Heather Roy takes a moment to reflect upon her creation ARTANA and its years in business. Proud memories include mentoring art school graduates into professional career fine artists and believing in, and launching emerging artists' first exhibitions. Fond memories abound with the gallery's core artists who developed their vision in pace with the gallery thereby supporting ARTANA's mission to show only leading artists of our time. Last but not least are the intellectual and interesting gallery supporters and patrons Ms. Roy and the artists engaged with, and befriended, over the years.

John Costin: "Wings of splendor"
OPENING NIGHT RECEPTION: Friday, April 6, 5-7:30 pm
SHOW RUNS THROUGH MAY 31ST
ARTANA's Gallery Director Heather Roy became an avid private collector of John Costin's avain etchings 5 years ago when she moved from Boston to Collier County. Costin's work impressed her "upon first sight" for its originality, native Florida imagery, attention to detail, saturation of color and overall print quality. Aware of the difficulty in creating a fine art hand-pulled etching from her art college years, Heather was awestruck by Costin's masterful etchings. They are in a class by themselves for modern day, multiple-plate, hand-pulled etchings whose imagery is derived from the artist's own birding observations and documentation. Costin's work has graced the walls of ARTANA since its Naples location Grand Opening in November 2017. ARTANA is pleased to present dozens of his superb etchings both large and small, to gallery followers and Costin's collectors this April.
Note: additional prints will be on view in the gallery; Not all prints are viewable on-line. Please contact the gallery to learn more.
Thank you Gulfshore Life magazine for featuring Costin's "Pensive Great Blue" in your Arts & Leisure Calendar (page 256), April edition. We greatly appreciate the support!

MONTREAL’S NICOLE ST-PIERRE SOLO SHOW: THE PLEASURES OF LIFE III
OPENING NIGHT RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST
FRIDAY, JAN. 5TH 5-7:30 PM

To kick of 2018 ARTANA warmly welcomes the return of Nicole St-Pierre to celebrate her third solo show with the gallery. This year’s exhibition features 17 of her most recent and best paintings. St-Pierre’s expressionist canvases capture the pleasures of everyday life: Family, Animals, Still Lifes, Musical Instruments and Nudes.
From Montreal to Boston St-Pierre’s cubist-inspired paintings are easily recognizable and rejoiced. Meet the painter during her vernissage and connect the spirit of the artist with the spirit of her paintings.
Also on view by our Northern creative is marble sculptor Martine Belanger’s work whose contemporary figurative sculptures suggest fashion as identity.
