This is a painting I’m working on for the Creative Every Day challenge. The theme for the month is ‘Fire’.
I’m enjoying this one, I’m really trying to play with vibrant colours and more movement in the figures. This one started with a beautiful fiery orange underpainting and then I layered that buttery blue all over.
I could paint blue and orange paintings every day for my whole life and not get bored–it’s my favourite colour combination. So this one is a pleasure to work on.
I’ve had it out all afternoon thinking it over and just letting the painting speak to me. I’m getting very fond of this couple, having loads of fun imagining their history together.
At this stage, I think there are a couple of elements that I want to add in tomorrow, I have something in mind. I’m nervous to shove in what I think needs to go there, but I’m sure it’ll work out. We’ll see how things go when I wake up.

I love blue and orange together. The guy in front looks devious?
Hi Bridget, lovely to see you here! Yes, he does look a little devious, doesn’t he? the hunched over back, the eyes
I’ll probably soften up a little tomorrow, but he’ll still be a bit of a shady guy, I think. Makes him more interesting.
I’m starting to love any color combo with orange – there is just such energy in it!
Orange and blue is one of my favorite color combinations as well! Great painting so far, good luck with continuing it. Sometimes I have to let them sit a bit before I can go forward with it. It always feels a bit like destruction to paint over what I’ve already done. Thanks for stopping by, and happy CED!
Blue and Orange, what a lively combo! Looking forward to the finished work. Well Done!
Hi Kat, Melissa, Hybrid J,
Thanks for visiting and commenting!
@Melissa I agree about waiting sometimes, I decided to let this one sit for a day or two to let it stew for a while:)
Cheers,
