I'm beginning to enjoy the pastels. Having to fight the temptation to use the same colours in every orange - have to think of each one as a separate object and not that they are all identical.

Very lovely pastel Anita. I enlarged this and can see how you have used your colors to create the depth and form. I bet an orange is quite a treat now.
sorry...i goofed my first comment.:( this is really a stunning piece, Anita! i like how you used complimentary colors to create impact. your oranges are superb!
Orange and blue are always quite magical together. It is like a secret formula to dazzle the eye.
Optical colour mixing is indeed a skill and well done well, as it is here, it works beautifully.
I love this Anita! I think you have mastered the use of different colors and that is exactly where I am having trouble.
Robin - oranges are about the only fruit we can get here that are worth eating! I enjoyed doing this and felt like it was a breakthrough of sorts in the pastel struggle!
Thank you Billie!
Jeanette - using the strong oranges was a treat after the monotonal colours in the chair picture.
Mary - You are getting there too!
