The April Color Challenge featured Orange and is hosted by Patterns by Jen
Orange... What does orange mean to me?
It can mean a beautiful sunrise or sunset that calms my soul and warms my heart. This is the view from our front window...
It reminds me of my high school - La Junta High School - whose mascot is a Tiger... Orange & Black ruled! "We are the Tigers - Mighty are we - We are the Class of '83"
It is a fruit! And one that I loved a child... still do, but know better now! Too many oranges and I get the hives. 😔 The solution then was take an antihistamine and carry on... don't stop eating oranges. Never!
Like I said, I know better now. But, I tell you, there is nothing better than fresh picked oranges. MmmMmmMmm...
Orange is also associated with fire - campfire is what comes to mind...
There is something so mesmerizing and peaceful about staring into a fire and watching the flames move and the embers glow.
I took this picture last year while on our fall Mountain Town vacation...
Ahhh.... I feel more relaxed already!
And I present to you my orange block...
Another fun block that is a great exercise in color value. Thanks Jen!
What does the color orange bring to mind for you?

Orange can be such a fun color. It's bold and bright. Though it's not a color I use much and I'm not sure why. I love the subtle pops of blue in your block.
ReplyDeleteI think of orange as fun and happy, and sweet (oranges, tangerines, creamsicles) I love it !!!
ReplyDeleteBack in the 70s my Mum had her kitchen cupboards painted orange against sky blue walls :-) Now orange makes my think of Autumn - my favourite season.
ReplyDeleteWarmth, sun, oranges warmed in the sun, that orange t-shirt when I was 16
