30 PAINTINGS IN 30 DAYS -- DAY 22

Today's painting, Seeing Red is a complex palette of earthy colors:  Payne's Grey, Hookers Green, Red Ochre, Yellow Ochre and Italian Buff suggested by my artist friend, Mary.  Since there were no colors that would yield the delicate violet pink of real Magnolias, I simply created a new red variety.  Artistic license is a wonderful thing.  I applied the paint more heavily than in most of the previous paintings and the look is much bolder, almost sinister. Can a sweet, Southern flower be sinister?
