Today's color: RED
OK...I'm a copy cat, and happily so.
This post was inspired, in part, by (everyone's favorite angry hillbilly) Joanne Mattera's blog post on Spring Greens and her recent post on "Red" as well as Kate Beck's post on Orange. There are others, such as the annual Red exhibit at Cheryl Hazan...
I love the idea and look forward to offering up my version of Seeing Red/Little Red Squares.
Thanks to the artists who sent their splendid red!
Enjoy...
UPDATE:
I'm happy to expand this as I find other pieces.
I'll add to the top...

Thanks all, for participating.
Ed Angell!! How very nice to hear from you.
And yes, I am a party girl :)
Thanks Pam for this response to a flippant comment. I enjoyed the variety of interpretations of the "little red square".

Great collection, Pam! I love seeing this work all together. Thanks for doing it and for including me.
Wonderful "red" energy here with this post, Pam -- thank you for including me in this project!
Absolutely wonderful line up of reds!
I so enjoy working in this color, and especially seeing what others do with it.
Nice post, Pam!!
Thanks for having me, in such good company too...
Thanks for this post. Loved it. And thanks for introducing me to Sue Katz's work. Loved that too.
That's a lot of red...fun...
I know I already commented once but...
Thanks for including me, Pam!
This is a well-edited selection. I have several favorites.
this would make a great exhibition.
a pleasant surprise to find your blog exploring the theme of red paintings... below is a link to a 'red' painting of mine, from an entry in my own blog also entitled 'seeing red'... what a coincidence...

What a delicious post Pam,
so enjoyed the delight of it...
the not-knowing-what-to-expect-ness of it -if that makes any sense...
it washed over me with so much energy!
Thank you!
I loved this post, and to see what the artists did with the color red. The color we respond to emotionally, from anger to love, and all the little nuances in between. Thank you!
