raspberry red bouquet

Here are my contributions for Louise’s Color Challenge. I really love how I am being challenged by colors I would not normally use. Like red. I don’t normally use large amounts of red, especially an entire painting full.

I find it a little difficult to paint with a limited color palette. Just red, black and white which I morphed into many pinks and grays. Still, I think it is good to stretch the creative muscles in new ways.
To get me started, first I did my usual flickr search for inspiring red ideas. It’s always the first place I go.
1. Red Raspberries II, 2. Crochet red scarf Morning Rose, 3. our red/raspberry wall, 4. Red Buttons, 5. SWAPBOT – RED WINE PC #2, 6. Study in Red – for Jules, 7. Fiesta Detail, 8. Raspberry Kiss, 9. Inspired by Red Roses, 10. Oh, Frida…, 11. i think these were salmonberry flowers, but i can’t remember, 12. White Chocolate and Raspberry Pie, 13. the angels wanna wear my red shoes, 14. A Mexican Dress Huichol Art , 15. i-scream with jam, 16. raspberry limeade

That is a beautiful painting. I love the various shades of red, magenta and pink. I myself paint a lot in red. It is very stimulant. I love to see the red paintings on the wall.
Raspberries are my favorite berry…
Your color is just gorgeous. Love the bouquet!
i love the boquet!! its so warm and modern, and simple, and buttony, and HAPPY!
Great painting. When I first saw it I thought it was fabric and buttons. Great texture.
Love it. You are inspiring me to do a color series of photographs. That would be fun . . .
These are both wonderful pieces. It really is a bit of a challenge isnt it! Amazing whats going on already. I was also finding the red morphing to pinks too which is okay! Artfest app all sent in, so look forward to seeing you sweetie. xxx
You have actually inspired me to try my hand at acrylic painting. My husband and all my kids are very gifted at art. Always felt I had no skill… especially compared to them! But your posts and paintings have really made me want to try. I might surprise myself. Ü
