New works in orange tones

I've started working on a new series in a brownish orange color. I haven't been able to resist the urge to use this particular color; maybe it's a reaction to all the blue-greens I've been painting with lately, as this is their complement. Or maybe I'm looking ahead to fall (interesting, as it's nearly the first day of summer). Whatever my reasons, I've never worked with this color before, and I'm enjoying the discovery of its nuances. (This is the first painting of a series of three, in acrylic on canvas, 40" H x 30" W).
