I HAD A CHOICE, YOU KNOW

The picture I selected was entitled Bullet Through a Candle Flame. The other picture was billed as Bullet Through a Banana. The former I found more edifying.

So, Mr. Edification, what are you going to build on from this picture? The pic of choice.

Upon closer inspection, I think it almost looks like a bullet passing through an avatar. With blonde hair. Just under her left armpit.

Other artists might have copped out and simply called the picture A Study in Red. That would have been enough for me. For as Jack Buck used to say, Red. Cardinal red is my favorite color. I'm with him all the way. Just yesterday one of our favorite golf courses went back to giving out red tees. I loaded up, then proceeded to use other non-reds, saving, almost savoring, definitely hoarding the classic reds for another day. I've long believed anticipation better than, or at least as good as reality.

Back to the picture. So I must deal with why a bullet was fired through the candle flame. Accident? Purpose? I say intentional. Why red? The color that it reflected? I say it's a symbolic for passion. The bullet, naturally, anger or angst.

For the rest of the story, well, you have an imagination: use it. I'll tell you some day. Not today. But there is one heckuva story here.
