C.T. Rasmuss; 2012
love, hate, courage, force, heat, energy, happiness, well-being, aggression, anger, seduction, sexuality, eroticism, immorality, socialism, communism, passion, fire, masculinity, danger, blood, Christmas, war, Christianity, one thing all of these have in common is their link to one color- Red. Through history, science, religion, food and drink, sports (my favorite baseball team being, the Cincinnati Reds) and even uniforms; red has represented inumerable meanings. Red also happens to be my favorite color it seems, as it usually makes the biggest effect to my paintings; I try to reserve this color which derived it's name in many anciet cultures from the phrase 'like blood'.
I hold out on this color as much as I can, at all costs everytime I use color; "save the best for last" I guess; sort of like blood or love and sexuality they are things that I hold sacred. The passion I have as a human being and the fire that burns my desire to create are the reasons I believe red has such a seductuve force over me; and I ask you what draws you into this color, any of the above reasons or in fact all of them..
Which of these colors might you prefer over red and why?
