Twisted Red Riding Hood

hi Jamie! thank you ery much.
it’s about 1:40am and i just finished this painting about 20 minutes ago. think i’ll go to sleep now.
i do appreciate your support very much :)
xxoo

Hi Cate! right after the exclamation mark, there’s suppose to be a little hand waving but, couldn’t figure out how to do that. lol
Thank you very much for the comment.
the eye? hmmm. i stared at the reference photo for a long time and just tried to see the colours. so i just mixed a bit of Cadmium Orange, Pthalo Green, Crimson and Titanium White and didn’t blend them real well. added the white highlight an presto! lol
i think that the gray slate color helped with making the eye look glassy, i didn’t paint in the pupil
oh my gosh, i’m tired and i think i’m starting to blab. hahaha

hi Robin! thank you so much for the thoughtful comments.
Had a bit of an idea of what it would look like but, i think i like the results too.
going to try something on slate with more color!

Hi Lorraine! thank you for the kind compliment.
if your talking about a slate floor…oh, wouldn’t that be the coolest?, to do an entire floor with art work! not sure how it would wear on slate but, it certainly would be a fun project!

Thank you very much Estelle.
I have more slate with a bit of colour in it. might try something with that or…i’ve been looking at some burlap bags that are doing nothing, just waiting to be painted on! hmmm…

hello Marion! thank you very much, Marion.
i have a few other types of material at hand that i may try out also.
will see what happens!

Thank you very much LazArt!
and thanks for the fav, too!
truly appreciated :)

oh yes! she indeed ate the wolf.
the original story was written with a bit of a twist as to not to frighten children (lol). they did not want children, nor adults for that matter, to be under the impression that a young woman or girl, would and could actually devour a bad wolf.
the true story, which i have depicted with my painting, first started being told about the time that women’s lib started to catch on. for fear that the true story may have empowered women much more than could have been handled (by egotistical men), politicians, of the male gender, put a stop to the spreading of the true story.
i have known the truth of this story for quite some time.
i, for one, was once devoured by a red riding hood and it quickly reminded me of the way i was brought up. that is to have respect and that we are all created equal.
so, i figured i would just put out a subtle reminder to those (us men type) who may feel that they have a better grip and understanding of things than all the red riding hoods out and about in this world.
thank you for the kind comment and inquiry :)

really!

hmmm, honestly, i think you have just given me a huge dose of inspiration and for that, i also thank you

Hi Lee! thank you so much for the comment.
it’s kind of weird, the stories that were written as childrens books.
Three Blind Mice, getting their poor little tails chopped off with a butcher’s knife.
The Three little pigs and on and on.
hmmm, kinda scary. lol

Lee, i want to thank you for choosing to display ‘Twisted Red Riding Hood’ on the feature page.

thank you very much, Trace. always enjoy your comments.
isn’t it funny how our heads can come up with so many ideas.
