It is bold, for sure. Maybe a little too bold. ;) It's a color I like in and of itself (note how eerily similiar it is to the shoes?). I'll have to post another picture once the painting is finished.

at least it's not yellow? Talk about hurting.

No arguing with that. Plus, I'm really not a fan of yellow. If I have to choose between looking at red all day and looking at yellow, red wins every time.
