A magenta mood
Glade of colors luminous
Heart's pulsing passion.
Rose Marie Raccioppi
was discovered shortly after the Battle of Magenta, 1859, in northern Italy.
The color is named after the battle, alluding to the blood shed in the battle.
When painting this piece I felt I was taken back to that battle.

WOW....I love your choice of colors in this photo...it does remind me of passion....:-) Hugs
Bernie, thanks - it was driven by a calling passion - and a playful encounter of light.
Your painting reminds me of silk drapes that hang in my dining room. At sunset the light penetrates their threads and makes for a wonderful glow and the magic of other hues peaking through . . .
love the painting, the mix of colors and your words capture it so well. i hope you have agreat weekend!
Bonnie, Thank you. When I was painting, the feeling of what enfolds us was experienced, and so the play of passion, light and shadow, the drapery known.
Brian, Appreciating your artistry, I am complimented by your words. Thank You.
HI ROSEMARIE-
oh of the times bleeding in darkeness muted in passionate memories - hanging on to the edge while falling into the blend of all things not yet spoken and red with the blood of life - from this place healing is not even an idea - it is a passionate dream that will come long after the bleeding stops -I know - I was there once. Long ago.
Loving you
Gail

Gail, Even though the impressions and the meaning you bring to my paintings and words are yours, you capture what brought me to such expression. A magenta mood is what you describe.
Magenta, one of the first aniline dyes,was discovered shortly after the Battle of Magenta, 1859, in northern Italy. The color is named after the battle, alluding to the blood shed in the battle.
Rose Marie-
And I am Italian - my Mom is 100% Italian, and from Northern Italy - and to now know the history of "Magenta" is fascinating. thank you
loving you

Hi again-
I saw your comment over at my blog after I commented here again. :-)
I am so drawn into your images and words as they reach my soul and truth. I know you know. And I am glad.
Loving you
Gail
peace.....
Gail, Well here we are in the same moment of time posting to one another in response. I was quite taken by your personal interpretation of both words and painting, reflecting not only our present time shared, but how closely your interpretation related to the Battle of Magenta as well. Sister Spirits in communication...
HI
The connection I feel to you is so powerful - your creative expressions reflect my truths intimately - it is freeing beyond my wildest imagination.
Love you
Gail'
peace.....
..and with all due respect and honorable intent may I add that beyond freeing there is a raw sensuality that comes to life - passionately and intensely as I "feel" your images and words.
