Here I am at Heinz Hall, after a wonderful performance by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Most folks exit quickly, leaving room for me and my camera :-)

I really enjoy watching kids as they see Santa on the chair, and can't wait to go see him.

Yes... but they want to stimulate the brain. It's a matter of using the colors to ones advantage. Red IS a GREAT color to use in any entertainment venue. It creates excitement and stimulates the nerve endings... leading one to feel a sense of anticipation.

I didn't say it couldn't be used IN art... just not to back up a piece (as in matting)... UNLESS you're attempting to throw the viewer into a particular mental state. Picasso so OBVIOUSLY desired people to be overstimulated when looking at this piece. Not only due to the subject of the piece, but by his use of red and orange, accented by the death color, with a hint of green (considered a healing color)... he's always been a master at manipulating the viewers subconscious. Doug, with art (and photography), NOTHING should be accidental. I have never created an ad, a photo, or a painting w/o intensional use of colors. Look at Monet's piece closer... do you realize what he's done by using red? He's drawing you into the piece. Take away the red and you'd not even give the painting a second look. But by using red as a light framing, with a directional pull to it, he pulls your eye into the woman painting.

Art is about being positive!
