What Does This Painting Mean?

Well, you asked for it. And I do what you tell me. This is the painting I started on Valentine's day. And as an ode to Valentine's day I decided to paint with red. A lot of red.

But by the time my Large Canvas Workshop came around on Saturday, I knew that the red painting was not going to make it. _

I had forced myself to paint with red for another two days. But the truth of the matter is, I just wasn't feeling it. "Should I continue on with my original thought and make myself finish the painting using the colour red?" That felt like work. And painting shouldn't feel like work. So, I gave myself permission to change gears. 

So, during Saturday's workshop, I poured white paint all over my red canvas and it felt delicious. I decided not to do away with the red completely though. As I thought about Vday I stratched the words "Live, Laugh, Celebrate" on the bottom left of the canvas. And that's that.

For a better look at "Live, Laugh, Celebrate" go to my 2012 Gallery.
