I have to admit it, red is my favorite color. Red represents beauty in many languages and cultures. I read somewhere that the color red increases enthusiasm and gives a person energy. Supposedly, red can also increase blood pressure and heart beat. Maybe all that is why when I use a lot of red in a painting, it just seems to flow and I have lots of enthusiasm for the work. Or maybe, I just love red....period ! ;-) Below are some more of my "red phase" paintings.
