About

Welcome.

This blog is devoted to that most maligned art, ornament.

For something that brings so much joy to so many, so universally loved and admired, it is often disparaged and maligned.

Ornament is NOT a crime, let’s have fun discussing it’s merits and it’s mis-applications.

Respectfully,

That was then, and although I am still devoted to Ornament, my interests have broadened.

I must confess when I first set up BabylonBaroque it was pretty much with the intention of promoting my decorative arts business, Greco Decorative Painting. The winds of change were rattling my shutters, I had hoped blogging would encourage business. I hadn’t prepared myself for what would await me , the opportunity to forgo design work that did not interest me or satisfy my creative desires. I never thought I would attend school, a novel experience for someone who has practiced self education with varying degrees of success.

My world has opened up, I am eager to share it.

Thanks for checking in,

BabylonBaroque
