Orange

Here is the collection of red into orange paintings I did for the 30 day challenge by Leslie Saeta. I painted from direct observation and went around the color wheel. This gave me a sort of compass, so I didn't have to wander aimlessly wondering what to paint. I did think about things that were attainable, available and were, to my mind, worth investigating. The paper bag was much harder than I anticipated, and I am interested in making a landscape painting of the crumpled paper. The negative shapes with the scissors and tape interest me, lots of variations possible with those two items. This collage was made using PicMonkey.

  1. Love your how the red background on yesterday's apple runs right into the skin. Takes the eye right into the painting! And how you are using PicMonkey with another blog! You are doing great stuff, Anne!

  5. I love your negative spaces, Anne. I enjoyed seeing your work in the challenge and it was hectic to keep up with all the other stuff going on in our lives, too. You did a great job grouping the pieces by color. I really admired what you came up with.
