Pat,
my client wanted a dragonfly theme. I went over several
art books with her to determine her preferences for style
and colors. She is generally drawn to simple graphic representations
as found in wood cuts and quilts.
Doing
recearch on dragonflies soon showed me there is a wealth
of shapes and colors that they come in. As with much of
nature, no matter what color combination you come up with,
it already exists somewhere on earth.
