Orange Tea

6x6 oil on Raymar panel
$70.00 plus s&h
I finished this one this morning, after starting it last night. I love the idea of high contrast - hence the light mug on a dark background, and the use of complements. The reflections on the mug, as well as on the surface, were fun - and I think I pulled it off.

    You definitely pulled it off. I love the warm light on the front orange slice and the reflections.

    Really love the colors in this one. The contrast is very nice, and I like how you repeated the orange in the cloth and the blues in the cup. Good job!
