Rooted in RED paintings part 1

ROOTED IN RED PAINTINGS

I have been using the Rooted in RED symbol as the subject in my paintings.  Creating pattern and designs, like the murals, to incorporate the symbol in a different context.  Maybe to enliven the symbol by dedicating the design pattern to be centered around the symbol.   Still using French Luberon red ochre and acrylics my palette is still in a monochromatic red.  The juxtaposition of the natural pigment (which I am using raw on top of an acrylic base) and a high gloss glaze makes the red ochre pigment almost sacred and precious.
