Creative Tuesdays - Orange

Welcome to Creative Tuesdays! The current theme is 'Orange' and this is my contribution. It is done on textured dark blue cardstock (6" x 6") in acrylic. I was striving for the effect of a tulle skirt in a white washed orange.  I used a darker shade of orange for the shoes.

I've been featuring 'Orange' on behalf of Creative Tuesdays since the weekend, with my 'Orange Sunrise' here and with 'Cute Socks' here. It has been fun!

So pretty.

PS. Cool beans on the weeding. It was far too cold and wet, here.

Orange dress and orange shoes are rare to see, Very cute.

You have certainly given a super impression of the tulle which looks so light and frothy, which must have been hard on the dark blue. The first thing that did strike me about your drawing Christine was your use of the negative space, which is brilliant.

The weeding's a good workout Ivy, might do some more today.

Christine,
You had fun with the orange prompt. I love the shoes - that's called something in art language but I can't remember. Is it dissonance?
Blessings,
Janis

Christine, I really like this piece just showing the tulle skirt and the orange shoes. Very mysterious in a way. Your socks and sunrise paintings were great too. :-)

Thanks for stopping by Tracy!

Oh I love this! It has a sweet and wonderful energy.

Michael said...

Yes, full of energy and yet sweet too. Love it. Love how the tulle skirt, whether intentional or not, reminds me of a slice of orange itself! :) Fabulous, Christine! Thank you so much for doing that and the others too. Can't wait to hear what you think of the next theme then! Hmm....

Christine said...

Michael, you're right, it does look like a slice of orange, albeit unintentional!
