The theme is RED!

If you check out June's blog, A Creative Dream you'll find a creative prompt for November and it's RED.  She has all the rules on her site and it looks like fun!  Here's something red for you. :)  A trip down memory lane for me...  We're not supposed to post this until Monday, but I might not have the time then.



This is an old painting of mine RED HOT! that I sold on ebay some years back.  My, has my style changed!  I used some really heavy texture in this piece.
Very cosmic, and undoubtably some red though you can count all the primary colors in this one. The ole Black Hole.


I actually ended up gesso-ing this piece.  It's all white now, with very heavy texture.  Looks like something from the 60s, don't you think.  What was I thinking...?  I don't know what to do with it.



This was a mixed media.  The flowers and the fence are cut from paper that I painstakingly glued onto the canvas.  I wonder where it is now.  Sold thru ebay years ago.
And yes, the reddish purse...  I use it all the time when I'm not using the blue one.  As you can see it was for sale at a local store, but nobody bought it, so I brought it home and put it into my purse stable. ;)

I'm more of a BLUE Green person, but red is one of those colors that makes you get up and GO!

Wow Maria, those are some gorgeous works with red... I think I really like the first one best... but then I love the poppies... and the one you gessoed over... they are ALL great!

Thanks for mentioning our prompt! I hope lots of folks come to play, it's been really fun to see all of the great creations that have been submitted since the start!

Isn't it interesting to see how your style has emerged? I LOVE the painting with the poppies and fence-- wish it was hanging in my house :) Red is the best ;)
