Mandarin Orange Monday

LorikArt


I don't know what it is about orange cars ... since I started this meme, I see them everywhere.  Of course, I can't resist taking the picture, so here we are again ... an Orange Jeep :)


 I thought I needed something a little softer to offset the Jeep ... this scarf and purse were hanging in my favorite coffee/art shop.  Now that I am looking at the picture, I am wondering why I didn't buy them.  Then I remember why ... I am on a fixed income, duh :)

My apologies for no explanation of the edits.  These last few weeks have been very busy and I didn't take the time to write things down.  I do need to give credit for the Kim Klassen texture "Elevate" used on the scarf picture.

Given how crowded our house is, I am sometimes glad that my income is fixed. I love your take on orange today - thank you.

Andrea thank you for those lovely words you wrote on my blog. I am glad you enjoyed reading about my visit to Nepal. And actually, I think your editing is wonderful too!
And as for your images today - i like them very much. I stopped and photographed an orange jeep like car last week too! it was smaller though, and no roof. I put it up sometime for you to see. The background you have given it is perfect - it is my favourite colour combination and i really like the texture you gave it -contrasting with the clean edges of the car. The scarf is lovely-beautiful pattern-gorgeous. And the soft, transparent background is just perfect too.
One thing though, i see you have linked this to MoM but I don't see the thumbnail on my blog. Something must have gone wrong when you tried. Can you try again?
Thanks again:)

Well, I must say that you have found the prettiest Jeep and scarf and bag set there is!!! Of course, orange is my favorite color! I think the Jeep would be much better if the paint were a metallic orange - oooooh, ohhhhhh, I can dream, can't I? As for the bag and scarf, well I absolutely love them! Well done my friend. You have a great night, hugs, Edna B.

Came back to thank you for sharing this fantastic work on Mandarin Orange! I love this work - I love that brilliant orange against turquoise and the flat smooth areas of the car against the texture of the background.
The scarf is great too - love its pattern and colour against the soft, transparent background.
