Orange – again and again and again.
So it turns out orange is the favorite color of two favorite people I know who are getting married this summer.
So I’ve been playing around with painting some orange flowers that could or maybe not be backgrounds or parts of a wedding invitation.
The first painting was a super fun tutorial by another favorite of mine: Andrew Geeson. He did his in pinks and reds, but I did oranges.
This middle one was just pure fun and joy. Something that could be covered up partially with a piece of paper square in the middle or on a diagonal with wedding detail/information on.
This last one is kind of my favorite. I feel like I just got lucky with how it turned out, and it is actually on the back of another practice piece, but I thought it might be beautiful with words written on it as an invitation.
Just some fun experiments with the joyful color of ORANGE!
Have a great day!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Orange you cleaver! Great job and creative use of the color orange! Your friends will love all three paintings Jodi. Gary

It’s a mutual admiration and joy found Jodi. 🙂 I always “wanted” to be artistic but never thought I was. One day I was doodling during a meeting and I doodled an image that appeared to be my father sitting in a lawn chair. Very rough and non-identifiable to most. I put it on Facebook and asked who it was. Immediately my nephew responded “Grandpa!” 🙂 I’ve been “trying” ever since.

The little lover of orange LOVES all of these paintings. #1 – “Gem, it’s your Valentine’s flowers!” and it does look almost exactly like the arrangement that my Son sent to me, right down to the bowl. #2 – “They look just like your tulips.” and they absolutely do! #3 – “I love the humongous orange flower best-est!” and I love all three the best-est! I don’t know how your friends will choose just one, each would make a magnificent invitation. Thank-you for sharing your beautiful talent!
