A Tribute to Red by kandu26 featuring silk tops
Red is everywhere. Warm, worrying, diabolic, it shifts from violence to mystery, soaking up some of the sun's rays en route. It is changing, glossy, dishevelled or velvety. It is red with anger, and pink with pleasure, orange like a flame and incandescent like sulphur. It is the cockerel's crest, crimson curtain or blackcurrant black. Materials have been carefully finished: lacquered, velvety, powdery or undisciplined: badly painted, irregular, slubbed. They showcase the palette of REDS. These are warm, copper, rust, brick; or sombre and blackened, blackcurrant, iris and blueberry; or soft, pink cheeks, faded dahlia; or shiny and melodramatic, glossy lipstick, theatre curtain and Chinese lacquer.
