1313 Scarlet's Way East

(2021) "1313 Scarlet's Way East" (20" x 20") is the 1st drawing in the Color Study Series. Red is so versatile in its range of personalities - it can attract and repel, excite and alarm, and turn from fashionable to sinister in an instant. This piece showcases scarlet, a bright red with a slightly orange tinge. In the spectrum of visible light, and on the traditional color wheel, it is one-quarter of the way between red and orange, slightly less orange than vermilion.
