Orange & Plump

"With vibrant color, a plump tangerine sits happily upon a ledge of glass."

When I saw this plump tangerine in the grocery store, I knew it had to come home with me. It is not very often we see them in our area with the leaves intact; so I bought two. Of course, the leaves were not really fresh and would not stay on for long. As we shopped I carefully guarded my two prized tangerines.

When we finally reached the check out the cashier was not as gentle as I was and off went the leaves of one of the tangerines! Now I knew it was up to me to put this one in super safe care. I managed to get "Miss Tangerine" home safe and sound, thus her one last debut occurred in my studio! She was dazzling in the spotlight aimed for her!

All and all I loved painting this plump little lady of orange!

30 in 30 Challenge, Day 23, "Color Parade"

Color Parade, 4x4in. Oil on linen/board.
Painted En Plein Air in MacLellan's Brook, Nova Scotia.

Color Parade

"With one last procession, nature's color parade, marches into autumn."

As the month progresses, green foliage has continuously changed into an array of colors. Reds, oranges and yellows are becoming the predominate colors; replacing summer greens. I love how the light makes the leaves appear translucent. Leaves are beginning to float in the air on windy days; while, deep blue skies serve as a wonderful backdrop for nature's brilliant colors.

MacLellan's Brook is one of my favorite places to paint. This space made me feel like I had been tucked away in a room within the woods. It reminded me of the spaces we use to seek out as children. They were magical little spots, where we thought no one could find us. We thought they belonged to our own private world.

I hope you are getting a chance to enjoy quiet spaces whether in your home or nature! Everyone needs to create their own private world; if only for a short while.

Warmly,
Debbie
