The Edge of Red



The Edge of Red
This painting represents the dance of extremes we face daily in the push and pull of human activity; distraction/focus, exhaustion/renewal, destruction/rebuilding. Using bold warm and cool colors with soft and hard shapes in a harmonious manner ensures us that extremes can co-exist, in a beautiful place. There is a depth in the painting that lures you to connect with it on many different levels. The following poem by the artist, Susan Lackey, is the inspiration for this artwork.
There’s a dance of extremes in our daily life.
Distraction with focus, harmony plus strife
Destruct and rebuild, exhausted can renew.
It can be hard or easy, you know it’s true.
When extremes co-exist, it can be a beautiful place
Like this painting where it’s warms and cools just fall into place.
