Raspberry, Tangerine and a Splash of Lemon

This is a (6" x 6") piece on good quality tangerine cardstock.  I painted it with acrylics and outlined it with a fine point marker.

Linking to Paint Party Friday and Summer of Color.

Oh, I love this! I've been playing with colour this week, and different colours create such different moods...
Orange's the colour of creativity, apparently :)

Oh, I really like this, what an unusual subject, something different. Very clever of you to paint it on Tangerine card too.

The oranges are brilliant combined in this way. I never would have thought of painting orange on orange. My grandson would be thrilled as that's his favorite color. I'm impressed with the final result. Very nice indeed.
