Whatever happened to Red?

There Was an Answer, no. 6;, originally uploaded by leyaevelyn.

Once upon a time, red was my default color. In fact, red was dominant in my life for a long time, years and years. If in doubt, use red. Then I had an exhibit I joyfully called Red. Now, to my amazement, I find red a very difficult color. The problem seems to be I want to use it like I always have, but currently, nothing wants to be the same. The sands are shifting under my feet. The default color, right now, wants to be celedon green (a pale bluish green) and variations on it. I guess I’ll just have to see where this takes me.

    Yep. Red was the answer. Now, yellow is my underpainting color. Might as well purchase a yellow primer…heh, that just sounds creepy, somehow… :-)
