Auberge d'Arrioutou

Auberge d'Arrioutou, watercolor, 5x7" (12x17cm), available. Painted on location, at this restaurant on top of a hill near the town of Argeles-Gazost, in the French Pyrenees, France. This "auberge" or family hotel/restaurant, was started by the lady, still the owner, about 50 years ago. She's now in her 90s, still peeling carrots in the kitchen, but her children and grandchildren run most of the operation. She visits with the clients, when you are sitting there she comes by, table by table, chats a little with each customer, very well presented, then goes back and works some more. Lovely lady, with a positive attitude about life and work.

"Temperature" is the relative warmth or coolness of a color. "Warm" are colors with a yellow component, or any yellow variety. "Cool" are colors with a blue component, or any variety of blue. When in doubt, ask yourself if the color has more yellow or blue in it.

"Temperatura" es el calor o frio relativo de un color. "Tibio" son los colores que tienen algo de amarillo, o cualquier variedad de amarillo. "Frios" son los colores que tienen algo de azul, o cualquier variedad de azul. Cuando dudes, preguntate si el color tiene mas amarillo o mas azul en el.
