Orange You Sweet?! by Roxanne Steed
8"x8" oil on gessoed masonite archival artboard
"There is no blue without yellow and without orange."
- Vincent Van Gogh
"Orange You Sweet" is an 8"x8" oil on gessoed masonite artboard. Ol' Vincent sure does have a point, these two colors sure do resonate with each other. Vincent also realized that opposites on the color wheel really vibrate when placed side-by-side. He certainly took advantage of this in his own paintings. I especially loved catching that glow of amber honey reflecting onto to the blue vase. This painting is nice to pair with "Cure For A Case Of the Januaries" that I painted the other day...or they certainly can stand alone. Daisies are so cheery, especially in the dreariest of winter days.
Another cure for a case of the "Januaries"! For more information about this painting, contact me roxannesteed@gmail.com
