I never wear orange, I have no orange in the house, but I LOVE it in a painting. I think it makes it come alive and provides a glow like no other color. This painting is essentially blue and orange, complementary colors. Mixed together they produce a gray, side by side they produce a glow!
When I was teaching I always taught some color theory and used a poster that had a color wheel on it. The students caught on quickly, but always referred to it as "Mr. Color Wheel." High school students can be so much fun.
