Mixed Media Monday - Least favourite colour - ORANGE

I am a not a fan of ORANGE. I started with a profile of a face (from Flickr free to use images) and painted the dress on to it. The background and flowers are by Lorie Davison SBG. Strangely enough, I am happy with the result!

  7. Marie, I haven't entered this challenge (still resting up from Christmas), but this is one gorgeous piece. I actually like some orange shades. This is fantastic and I just love the vibrancy. I sure don't know how to "paint" with Photoshop, but you seem to be an expert. Really beautiful.

  11. I cannot imagine anyone not loving this card and this color...it is stunning. I am beginning to think I am weird..each image I see is awesome. I really don't know a color I don't like...to be honest, and there are so many shades of each that there is bound to be one to like. Your card is truly beautifful in every way. Hugs, Gayle.

  16. A message from your model:
    "You may be happy with the result, but did you ever stop to think about me? How do you think I feel going out to all my parties dressed in ORANGE? It's so last season...."
    Seriously though, great pic and it gave me a comedy moment which can't be bad!
