I love your colors mingling on the page! You’re really finding your style. Isn’t art cool?! I’ve never been an orange fan (even though I’m an O’s fan *gasp*🙀) but I’m really liking these shades and I like the way you’ve mingled some brown/gray in to tone down the flames. Perfect color balance! Do you cut your own mats? Love that double mat. 😍🎨😎💐🌷
Thank you Laura! I am so surprised to hear you say you are not a fan of (any color)! 🙂 What is not to love about the energy and happiness and brightness of ORANGE! 🙂 LOL! I do cut my own mats, but I did not do this one. I found it in a pile of old frames and love it. Have to try doing doubles. Double the work! LOL!
Hehe! Love your dancing mingling colors! Was it easy to learn, Jodi? Can you recommend a mat cutter? I know zippo about this lol. It seems hard to do but I love the idea of it!
I am on the road traveling for work for the next few days, so I can’t remember the brand of the one I bought. I just bought an inexpensive one, and it is super easy.
Believe it or not, I painted the walls in my dining room orange in our big old house (that we lived in for many years before moving to the apartments by the water). I painted all the trim teal. It was the happiest, most wonderful room. At night, with the lights on, there was a glow coming from the big windows surrounding the window seats. I know it’s not to everyone’s taste and it was the only room that was painted that bright color in the entire house, but, I really loved it. And I really miss it.
Jodi, I love your orange flowers! The deeper shades remind me of Autumn and bon fires with toasted marshmallows! ; ) I too like the color of your leaves to really make the blossoms pop off the page. So pretty! I’d love it if you opened an Etsy Store!! ; )
Thank you Kelly! And Guess What?! I do have an Etsy shop 🙂 And this is available there in prints and greeting cards. Thank you so much for your kind comment and compliment. The Etsy shop is called McKinneyx2Designs, and it is my daughter-in-law and me. Hope you will check it out and help spread the word. https://www.etsy.com/shop/McKinneyx2Designs?ref=hdr_shop_menu
Ok I’m officially awake now!!! Orange in any form is the perfect color. Your watercolor is so striking, the color jumps off the page. Bravo for your words and art Jodi.
Thank you for noticing Cynthia I am trying to remember how important that white space is. In the end it truly adds life and sparkle. So easy to overpaint!
Happy and juicy orange! I love it 🙂 it brings a spot of color to my day. What was your choice for the colors? I love how they mingle together, just perfect.
My oldest daughter loves the color orange. We painted her bedroom Home Depot Orange, it glowed down the hall way like fire. My friends thought I was crazy. I called it a love for my daughter. What do friends know!
I love the color on various things but never to wear…I think it clashes with Asian olive skin tones. LOL! Orange is certainly perfect for your flowers!
Orange is a HAPPY color! bold and brave, full of Courage!
gorgeous orange colors, love all the beauty of white space and the subtleness of the leaves which is so perfect for it! cheers! debi
Thanks for the sunshine, Jodi. (K)
