Painting with the Color Red

Dr Abe V Rotor 

"Red, oh, the bleeding drops of red..."
Lord Alfred Tennyson's imprimatur;  
"O my Luve is like a red, red rose..."
Robert Burns signature.

Tragic and romantic, red the color 
of extremes - passionate love, seduction, 
violence, danger, anger, adventure. 
prize or loss in every action.

Our prehistoric ancestors saw red,
the color of fire and blood,
energy and primal life forces,
symbolism's good and bad.
