Tomato Tango

Does anyone else feel a very strong pull to put your home and life in order after the Holidays. January it seems, is the time to straighten up all the "things" in our life that are spinning out of control. I had a difficult time with my head wanting to unclutter my surroundings and my other side wanting to paint. I was stuck in this rut until the new DPW challenge regarding the new it color for 2012. Tangerine Tango. My inspiration came from Facebook and my niece Mollie. She can capture with a camera, what I can only wish I could do. Thank you Mollie, for this beautiful, inspiring photo. These Tomato Tangos are painted in oil on a 4 x 12 canvas. Can't wait to try a watercolor version.

  1. Hi there! I just want to say that I love this one. It's an unusual size for a canvas, but I really like it.

  2. Beautiful! I saw that tangerine is the new "it" color. Really like it. It's a happy color.

    I agree with you about January. Been trying to throw things out all week and plan to get "into" some of my closets soon and purge!
