AN EVENING OF ORANGE
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matt, glass + gold frame
$150 - shipping + tax inclusive


Cloaked was the evening in orange.

A color so warm and fiery that it lit the sky.

 And the erratic, flaring tones swished 
before darkness fell.

    Thank you Kathy.
    Unfortunately the scan was lighter and subdued from the original. Much more "pop"in the original.
