"Orange is the happiest color."
-Frank Sinatra


Hello! I think we are in need of a punch of color and orange has the ability to do just that! Today's selections are some of my favorites. Enjoy!


"Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow."
-Wassily Kandinsky




1.) My Darling Clementine original watercolor
2.) Orange poppy original painting aceo
3.) Abstract Flower
4.) Orange-Red Globemallow Flower
5.) Floral abstract 5
6.) Orange Day Lily, Painting on Wood

Orange Facts:

* Orange is a relative of the color red, and sparks more controversy than any other color. There is a strong positive or negative attraction to orange and true orange generally elicits a stronger "love it" or "hate it" response than other colors. Fun and flamboyant orange radiates warmth and energy.

* It is interesting to note that some tones of orange, such as terra cotta, peach, and rust have very broad appeal.

*How the color orange affects us physically
- Stimulates activity
- Stimulates appetite
- Encourages socialization

Have a great day and remember: Go Ahead & Indulge!
