Flirting with the Dark Side
Acrylic on Gallery Canvas
20cm x 20cm x 4cm
It occured to me, after painting this, that my Dad (who was colour blind) wouldn't be able to see this painting. At all.
Which is sort of a neat idea.
View from the window in the staircase. Prison bars = Sexy.
Hawt!

I like it. So is your son color blind? Sorry, it's the geneticist in me. He had a 50/50 shot.
Really? I have no idea. I never thought of testing him (there's a test, right?)
And why just my son?
I like the blending of the red from bright in to dark tones, it's pretty, especially with the turquoise.
Why don't you ask your son to look at the painting and ask him what colors he sees. Seb my husband is colorblind but we've kind of figured that our son isn't by constantly asking him what colors he sees in cases like this.
Miss Chris: Thanks. I really like that green myself.
Also. A Free Man explained to me via email why my son would be colour blind and my daughter wouldn't and from what I understood from his explanation, your son can't be colourblind.
AFM said that it's a recessive mutation (LOVE that word) that only a mother can pass on to her son via the X chromosone (though I suppose that logically, parents could pass on colourblindness to a daughter if BOTH of them gave that child a wobbly X chromosone).
Genetics is so cool.
That's exactly like the male pattern baldness chromosone. Your son has to his maternal grandfather to see how much hair he'll end up with. My poor son :( his grandfather had a receding hairline at 30.
