blood red...

hi everyone...

last night's playtime...

acrylic on paper...

before i added the black, i flipped over the paper...

just because. :-)

(notice the blue markings on the top right corner above...)

they are now at the bottom left here...(above)

 added a bit of white, and some circles here & there...

at this point, i saw a man, with a bow,
surrounded by animals and spirits.
Some of you may see a person with a surfboard,
or a woman holding leaves...
but i saw a man with a bow.

The hunter.
That's what i decided it would be called.
Just because. ;-)

I don't particularly like the color red

and i use it very rarely.

Some artists use it brilliantly,

but i'm not one of them.

I still find it so aggressive.

Some artists use red in a way

that feels more passionate than angry.

But I still struggle to find that balance

between red and other colors,

so it doesn't feel like the red

is taking over the whole damn room,

let alone the painting. :-)

Yesterday, I was angry about a few things,

so it felt right when i used it -

maybe the anger is slowly finding its way

out of my heart and onto the page.

notice the limited color red in these pieces?
Maybe it means i'm not often angry.
Or that i lack passion in my life. ;-)

oh, i added a few curls to the blue boy painting!

I also made his eyes more intense.

I like it now. Much more.

Blue Boy.

And a little video for you, my friends...

How can one not love such a setting

filled with so many instruments,

talented musicians

and an angelic voice,

all at the same time?!

I saw Loreena in concert a few years ago.

Best concert EVER.

Maybe because there was more blue on the stage than red.

(giggle)...
