***I have created this Abstract Painting with Brilliant Red in mind. I wanted to also experiment with darker colors such as Black, Brown, and Red Brown. I wanted to create a clear contrast showing the Red highlights & Brilliant Red patterns. I did this because I do use Red a lot in many of my paintings because of the spiritual representation of Red. Red meaning Power, Action, Energy, Passion, Survival, Creation, Vitality, and Dominance, I wanted to have the darker colors in the background to have an association of transitions. The Black color for me being a back drop and showing the thin lines of Red overlapping the Black to be a path to take create a positive road ahead. These Red lines representing Survival & Energy. I wanted to transition from Black to a blend of Grey, Sliver, Brown, Black, and White to signify Action and then the opposite side of the canvas opening up to the shades of Brown, Red Brown, Shades of Red & Brilliant Red. The strong small patterns of Brilliant Red to have the appearance of courage, hope and strength building. I emphasized the importance of Power for the Mind and the Heart with the large Red tear drop shaped pattern.

******Please note LIGHTING will be important with this painting using overhead lighting or good indirect lighting on this canvas. I say this because the Colors truly become brilliant with the correct lighting which then emphisizes the creation of the Red I have used with this story. If there is no proper Lighting for this painting...the painting itself will look dark and unassuming. You will need to play around with the lighting in the space your considering. Also, wall paint colors will make a difference for this painting or any other painting your considering.

**I used a Apple i-Pad Tablet for the photographs I shot. I took the photos of this painting outdoors with Mid Afternoon Sunlight. I did not take the photos of the painting in the direct path of the Sun. I had the painting positioned so the colors on the canvas would have the proper representation which would be very much like having the painting-hanging below indoor lighting. **The colors in my photos are as exact as can be. When I posted this painting-I had the painting sitting next to me to make sure the colors looked exactly right.

Note: I base my pricing on the amount of time spent working on the Painting, Art Supplies used, Amount of paint used, Genre/Composition, and Artfinder's % which is important since they are promoting my artwork around the World.
