I’ve always liked the color red. Maybe it started with the short film “The Red Balloon,” which I watched as a child. That red balloon was the most beautiful balloon I’d ever seen. For some reason I was not traumatized (like my children were) by the fact that scores of marauding boys puncture the balloon at the end of the film. In spite of that, it had a happy ending.
When I was in college I had a red jacket that made me feel positively sparkly with happiness. And who doesn’t want a shiny red car? Red is the color!
It was also the main color in my paint palette this week.
I was inspired by the work of Emma LeFebre on YouTube.
I’d like to take another pass at the cardinal. It was a learning experience.
I’ll probably delete this in the red skies of morning.

Red is a very happy and energizing color. Your Cardinal turned out pretty. I have decided I definitely like using regular water color paints, as opposed to the metallic paints for something like a cardinal. It has to be a true red. Fun to experiment though. The flower is awesome!
