Blush


I used "Tangerine Tango" very sparingly today.  I was trying to capture a range of sunset colors against the neutral gray.  Today's gray was a combination of ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and titanium white.  I did add a tiny bit of cadmium yellow light to warm it up in a few places.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Sweethearts


Painted on black gesso, these are the tiniest Granny Smith apples that I've ever seen. They are almost bite-sized.  And I exercised a lot of artistic license with them, but I'm still enjoying experimenting with the Pantone color "Tangerine Tango."  I can't help myself. I really love the color orange mixed with gray.



Now, I'm off to take my little Rodeo for a walk.  It is gorgeous here today.  Sunny and 70 degrees.  We are hoping that Phil doesn't see his shadow tomorrow!

Kate & CrackerJack


This was painted for the Daily Paintworks Challenge this week, but now, I'm not sure it would really qualify.  I painted it on a tangerine-toned ground, but I can never seem to leave enough of my background colors.  The tangerine-toned ground, however, was really fun to paint on.  I look forward to trying it again.

Sweet Sheltie (N/A)


I've been working on pet portraits the past few days.  It has been so cold and windy out.  I've been happy to be busy indoors.  I hope you're all having a great week!
