Shades of Red - October 2013 by Jenny Reyneke Artist

Colours are intimately connected with our feelings and emotions and their healing qualities have a profound effect on our moods and well-being...

I wanted to explore the possibilities of the colour red in this series of works to determine what effect on my mood it would have.

Red is the colour of passion, of strength, motivation, and physical energy. It is the colour of courage, tenacity and drive and is associated with the instincts of survival and security. I wanted to test this theory... see whether meditating on the aspects of red would in fact translate into my life at a time of the year where I fear that my resilience and strength may be failing.
