New Canadian Library ~ 105 Mystic and as haunting as an Indian myth, Tay John is a novel of outcast love, and merciless greed, a work that strikes a resonant primordial chord. Howard O'Hagan Tay John Bottom half: Abstract circle image.

Something different, here's a red drawing made in 2029 in Athens. I didn't use red paint, it's the support that's that colour.
There are 3 drawings in this style, I'll post them tomorrow and the day after, saving my favourite for last :)

Zariqua II

Size : 70x50cm
Year : 2019
Place : Athens
Technique : Scratchboard (acrylic and chalk)

The image presents a surreal, dreamlike night scene set in a dramatic red and black color palette. A glowing red orb, partially caged by vertical bars, sits at the center of a striped platform, drawing immediate focus. The sky is dense with swirling red clouds and multiple dark celestial spheres, suggesting an otherworldly atmosphere. Abstract architectural forms frame the composition—sharp-edged, geometric structures emerge from the darkness, with some lines of bright white slicing through the scene like beams or rails. In the background, silhouettes of mountains rise under the blood-red sky, enhancing the feeling of isolation and mystery.
