I need your help! I want to enter a juried art show next week, the theme is “Lipstick and Rouge” and I can’t decide which two paintings to submit!?
The theme of the show is: Hmmm, luscious reds…sultry maroons, hot magenta, dusty rose, funky fuchsia, cheeky pinkadelic, steamy crimson, juicy watermelon, gorgeous garnet, ripe raspberry, sexy scarlet, candy apple, peony pink, cherry blossom, ruby, cinnabar, merlot, blush, pomegranate, firelight, framboise, brick, coral, cerise, carnelian, poinsettia…any of these colors are eligible. Let’s see your art!
Please reply in the comments with the two paintings that you think are most appropriate for the theme, Melancholy Madness, The Rose, or Playing with Crimson.
You guys never let me down, thank you for taking the time, I really appreciate your opinion! 🙏🎨☺️👍

Definitely the last.
The first two don’t do much for me, but if I had to pick, the second.
It’s the contrast does it for me. Red and white.
Bear in mind my eyesight is shite. Seriously shite. This post, I just listened to it rather than using my eyes, to give an idea.

Thank you, Pete! I think the last one is going to make it to the show, I’m still deciding on the other one. I too have deteriorating eyesight, which is terrifying to an artist!

The Rose is very good and has a kind of Jackson Pollock vibe, but my favorite is Playing with Crimson. Its like a Japanese character or a slightly drunk Zen calligraphy. 🎨

Melancholy Madness is my favorite. The squares remind me of little compacts of rouge.

For me it’s The Rose and Playing with Crimson!
I like the circular shape which also lends both fluidity as well a circular motion, a movement to the painting. It also blends the colours.
The titles go very well with their creations.
Wishing you the very best!

I’m super late to this multiple choice question but I already saw the one you chose. Perfect choice, if I say so myself. The first photo is beautiful and screams more ‘hellfire’ to me than lipstick/rouge. 😁
