The painting above my fireplace
Sadly, it's a faux fireplace. However, the mantle still begs to have something hanging above it. In this case it's a textured painting I did several years ago. This painting has followed me from place to place, and has therefore been reworked several times...it started out orange, then I changed it to red and pink (see below!), and now it's midnight blue and black.
Seen up close (and even closer, on the right):
...a couple of other angles, which do a good job of illustrating the true colors. The blue is so dark that, depending on the light, it just looks black. I love the way you can't see where one color begins and another ends. By the way, the whole thing makes me think of being deep underwater and looking up at what's left of the light.
Finally, here's what it looked like when it was red!
