I like how the gradiants give it dimension! Plus it looks like it is moving. Nice!!!

Your abstract work is so nice, Angela. This is so warm and inviting. I can imagine it in a gallery!

Re: Symphony in red orange...

This is a wonderful piece, it seems to glow from within... your signature abstract trademark I think Modern yet erethral (angelic looking)

Re: Symphony in red orange...

The glow which you have achieved in the painting is amazing. Have you used Pitt pens for under painting?

So pretty! My brain wants to assign a description to the abstract. Makes me think I see overlapping silouettes of womens bodies bathed in golden light. Their arms are held high above their heads (which are not in view) and they are dancing. It's really beautiful!

Re: Symphony in red orange...

Drawing light is sooo hard... and youve done it very very well... Its really just an absence of colour to make that white centre area. Excellent!

Re: Symphony in red orange...

Jennifer, Lynette, Raxxillion, thank you so much for your kind comments!
Talia, that's a really nice idea thank you!
Karen, thanks, love that. Much appreciated!
rbajaj, thank you! I used the Pitt pens at some places to get some extra color nuances, but not as an underpainting.
aphid dew, thank you, Suzanne! Love your connotations!
faminz, hey, thanks for your nice comment

Interesting piece...good experimental piece. Not sure if it is as strong a piece as some of the others but nonetheless a pretty nice composition...

Re: Symphony in red orange...

I just adore your choice of colours -my favourites. It gives this particular piece a feeling of great passion and I can see two heads leaning in to kiss, noses crossing.

In another way I too can see the movement and dancing, it reminds me of a Brazilian street Fiesta -all colour, heat and dazzle with dancing all night.

Corrected version (hopefully ): Your feedback helps me a lot for my next pieces.

George
, it's an experimental piece. I'm interested in rendering light and color, or color as a kind of light. I thought the rhythm of the lines could give this shape. Perhaps I will try to go even further in "pure" color... (less lines) - but which composition would be appropriate?
On the other side I'm torned between the interest to further investigate this direction or to involve representational, recognizable elements. The (technical) skills in rendering realistic elements get so much applause
Thanks again!
