Red
On Mother's Day, my youngest son took me out to eat for steak and salad. It was delicious! Today, my daughter took us to our hairdresser. So much fun! The gray is covered. Afterwards, I came home to paint. I used an old painting, "frozen fog" from 2009 and painted my always first color "cadmium red deep hue". I always begin my paintings with this. It represents the center of the earth to me. My next color will be "burnt umber" representing fresh earth. I am painting over a period in my life that no longer serves me. I lived it then, now it is gone. As I create, I realize I only want to represent love. An innocence I recently found. The time before I am told who I am and who I should be. The child inside me still exists. The "who" I am before anyone tried to tell me "who I am". So thrilled to begin another painting!
