Red or Collage-Red

The original
Done in the middle of the night with minimal light

What was I thinking? But love his vibrant background

So then I  transferred some text to a sheet of paper, gelled it all dry and printed Mr. Red onto that paper.  Kinda scratchy transfer but I like the unexpected.

Any thoughts?

    I like Red, but I love the one with text. Of course, I love text so that makes sense. All these years, and I still marvel that we can have a thought and share it forever.....

    hmmmm this tells a lot..
    a serene face... but lots of passion and feeling storming inside...
    beautiful

    the story of the version with the print is a little bit different...

    I like the complexity of the one with the print transfer. I have never in my life been able to make a transfer. I love the way things show through each other.

    I like the text - y one best , and HB (as usual) sees deeper than me. Deb and Joss - I love text showing thru anything and I love, love, love transfers and their unpredictability. Suki, I was really bad at it for a long time but have learned to have patience and that helps. Biggest things is NOT to use ink jet - it's water soluble.
    What facinates me is the difference between the two. Layers. I love layers. Usually don't have enough patience for too many but I'm learning.

    This guy may have a few more iterations, watch this space.

    Both for me as well.

    I'm a big symbolism person and red represents life and passion and vitality...coupled with text, it's like he's sharing all of the marvelous innerworkings of his brain.

    Kudos :]
