Hue of You – Endless Skys

I created this artwork very late last night for a fun competition (creating a photo to look like a LeRoy Neiman painting) but it really does fit perfectly for this week’s challenge as the hue of me!

Firstly, I painted this image with complete childlike abandonment with no regard for colour, keeping within the lines or reality. That in a way describes me to a tee, I like to have fun, but I’m not reckless, I am not set in my ways, I like change and I have never believed in the rules of society; who makes them up anyway. Most of them do not make sense to me. Things like:

Don’t wear a ring on the third finger of your left hand unless you are married or engaged.
Never wear white after Labour day….why not?
If you don’t cry when a relationship is over, you cannot possibly have been in love.
Don’t feed your kids a huge banana split with all the sweet trimmings for supper, instead of something healthy, it’s not good for them.
Wanting to be with your partner, as opposed to needing to be.
Must have matching dinnerware on the dining table, why? It’s more fun when nothing matches.

Anyway you get my point.

Secondly, the bright colours represent how I look at life. Don’t take me wrong, like most of us I am sure, I’ve been round the block a few times with life flipping back and forth between amazing and downright miserable. I have a finely tuned sense of humour and have learned to see the funny side (and lessons) in most things. Plus the numerous array of different colours is a perfect representation of who I am as a person. What I mean by that is….I do not have a ‘type’. I am honestly a blend of all types, a multitude of colours and flavours, which some people, especially partners, find a little disconcerting as I am not very predictable.
