Knowledgeable staff Variation 17, From Variations on a theme portfolio, Acrylic on canvas, 24 x 24 inches

When orange is harmonious and restful. 

The textures, the simple lines and the overlays of shape come together to create a heart melt for me.  Something about the almost in this painting captures and holds my attention.  As with a newborn, we can't take our eyes off.  We basque in that moment as long as we can.  That's how this painting makes me feel.

How about you?
