I'm seeing red
Red is a very strong, outgoing colour, normally associated with action, love or aggression. This painting however, shows the meditative side of it, a warm, vibrant, nourishing glow. I read that in Tibet, red is the color that symbolizes our connectedness with the whole. And that reminds me, to look for the quiet place inside, right in the midst of the pre-christmas buzz.
Painting: Martina Voigt Schmid

Red is not a color I am comfortable using, but I definitely admired people that able to do that, and do that well, you are one artist that make red looks so good and inspired me to maybe get out of my comfort zone! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour painting is a beautiful artwork, sweet Martina. I love red, even more in the month of December. A strong and warm color.
ReplyDeleteI am still thinking about you going to Austria and Munich in such a short getaway. You will be on the road much, do take some good CD's! Last Summer we listened and listened and listened to ABBA.
Have a guten Abend und viele viele Gruesse und bis bald und Schlaf gut heute Abend, stay warm and cozy, liebe Martina xxxxx
very nicely done! love the warm red tones :)
ReplyDeleteMartina what a gorgeous picture!!! I just love staring at it & am really enjoying it! I am a sucker for red things :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is, but something inside me has been attracted to the colour red like never before.....I'm even thinking of adding it to my home decor...which is currently teal and pink...
ReplyDeletebut red goes with teal so well.....
this painting is wonderful...the layered touches feel like you can reach right in through the liquid and grab a little bit of warmth!
great job...thanks so much for sharing!
ciao bella
oh, and thanks for stopping in to see me!

Stunning! I want to be embraced in red just like your painting :) It's such a beautifully vibrant color full of Life. I can't resist this color, I love it so much!
ReplyDeleteYou really have a way with colors. So vibrant!
ReplyDeleteSi supieras todo lo que me transmite.....
ReplyDeleteMe encanta.
MARTINA!!!! I AM HERE!!!! Oh dearest, I am sick to my stomach. I left work early yesterday and I am staying home today with some kind of stomach flu. HOW LOVELY IS YOUR PAINTING and I never thought of red as a calming, meditative color, BUT with your beautiful golden subject in the center, it somehow mellows out the tones; it is simply gorgeous! NOW, I am starting to freak out because I have some gifts that I want to send out but I HAVE NOT STARTED!! I HAVE TO DO THAT NOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteI so want to meet you and hug you dearest; may you have a wonderful and peaceful celebration and enjoy every moment of your family!
GROSSES BISES, Anita
dear Martina

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Perfect painting for this Season in all of it's lovely red tones! You are such a talented artist!!
ReplyDeleteI was in a restaraunt with Richard on Saturday and noticed this lovely lady wearing a cute black outfit with red fingernail polish. She had the cutest accents of red jewelry to match it all. I am not usually a "red" person, but after viewing how pretty her look was I have decided I am going to try and put that look together for Christmastime! :)
Have a Merry Christmas my dear friend!
XOXO Gloria
Oh dearest, thank you for your kind wishes! Rest is the key and I got so much of it yesterday and today, I am up and about in my home....but in QUIET and that is exactly what I need!
ReplyDeleteBISES, Anita

This calming post is just what I needed today. I LOVE Red and had never thought of it as calming, but it is.
ReplyDeleteVery, Very pretty painting! See you tomorrow at Friday Pretties?
Love, Joyce
This painting of yours is insanely gorgeous dear Martina. Very feminine and full of passion - in a relaxed way :-) Love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, much love: Evi
I love what you wrote about the color red I am so drawn to it lately, I know seeing it everywhere has something to do with this...I think this is why I love this month so.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting!
