Last week’s post featuring ‘Flaming June’ has started me thinking about the colour orange.
Here’s the painting again. Bob does not like this at all – he cannot understand my fondness for romantic, and pre-Raphaelite stuff.
He would certainly not have recent enjoyed the V&A trip with Floss and co as much as I did!
But the other evening, I spotted so much orange as I was preparing our evening meal, I had to take pictures…
The oranges in the fruit basket
The gerbera on the dining table
The handles of my Fiskars Kitchen Scissors
The packaging of Sainsbury’s basic spaghetti
The lid of my Le Creuset Casserole [wedding gift, 1979]
The wonderfully retro M&S tray [another wedding gift]
Bob unexpectedly took a picture of me at the meal table – still more orange things to spot!
**finally, here is Prokofiev playing the March from his suite
you look so slim! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh lovely you with orange beads and summer sunny smile! Now I know where you are in the photo!
ReplyDeleteYou say the kindest things! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteNice! I do like orange! I had an orange coat when I was a child and even though it probably made me look pale, I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI love all bright colours and orange especially. I have quite a bit of orange fabric and cannot bear to cut it
