Kindred Spirit: I didn't focus on just one color here, in fact it was a pallete of many, that's the point. I saw this lighthearted, fun, childlike composition and immediately thought of splatter painting in kindergarden. The succer does it justice as well. The various colors give a feeling of fun and random blissfullness that i appreciate in this photo. My favorite part of this is that it is a very different photo, it's not trite or cliche like my other two, no one else has a succer in paint! ha!

Vanity: Purple has always been the color of royalty and high society. This picture of a young woman putting on purple makeup made me think of this 'royalty' moving into the media of today. You have to wear makeup, you have to be pretty, you have to look the best and be the best. (not saying that my model is in vain...) I enhanced the color to make it look vivid and pompous so it would fit in with my 'vision'. And here it is...'Vanity'.

Passion: Although it is constantly overdone, i feel as if this picture evokes a sort of passion. Red is a symbol of temptation, blood, hate, sin, lust, etc. And i think this picture actually evokes all of them. The apple reminds me of a modern day Eve, or maybe a Lillith. Then there's the whole Snow White complex...but modernized. There's a false sense of innocence with her cute little red umbrella but then there's this evil sort of passion in her face. I like this picture, as overdone as it may seem. But viola! Here is Passion.
