Lost in Rainy Day Red Dreams

e.b. said to gather up red on this rainy day

so we did


"like birdsong inside the egg" - Rumi inspired art journal page

Played with contrast and saturation a little to gather the red a little more ...

the red doors open to the words from the Rumi poem

You know what goes perfectly with red and rain ?

A little Neil...

"if you follow every dream,

you might

get

lost..."

You can listen to some Neil here.

Gather some red and some dreams today...

  3. This is beautiful. The red is electric and among my favorite colors! The doors draw me in and the blues are so dreamy. I love this and needed this right now :)

  7. Oh, Kim, you and eb have RED my mind. I love this gorgeous piece. It sings and dances in the rain. So rich and vibrant.

    We have been having gray days here in New England, haven't we? But just think -- on the other side of this awaits the roses of June. Can't wait to see them, and the art they inspire, unfold.

  8. I love the detail shots of your work. Such great colors, you aren't shy with that, huh?! It has been raining here a lot too. With more to come on the weekend. I'm feeling a little like I'm living in Vancouver or Seattle. The Rumi quotes are very inspiring too.
