This little painting started with a song. While listening to Taylor Swift's Red, I found myself thinking about the way we associate colors with feelings and how one color can hold so many different emotions.
I wanted to explore red without giving it a specific subject. Working with opaque and transparent layers of oil, I played with crimson, coral, rose and deeper wine tones, allowing the shapes to overlap, disappear and reappear. I love how the different layers create their own movement and how the linen becomes part of the painting.
It became an exercise in seeing just how many ways red can express itself.
