I do enjoy a still life. While looking out some watercolour paper I found a painting (pumpkin, squash and mango) I had forgotten about, done over a year ago and never shared. The second (orange pattypans – from 2020 harvest – in blue bowl) is from this week. I’m still working on how to show volume of orange objects. Fortunately the squash are still in good shape, so I can try again.


I think shadow colors for orange (and yellow) are tricky. I’m always asking “What color is that??” Your blue striped towel is terrific! A great complement.

Just love the blue with the orange.
Going to send this to a good friend who loves the colour orange! On Thu., Jan. 21, 2021, 11:06 a.m. Everyday Sketches, wrote:
