Dark red hair

Today when interviewing some older members of my fathers family I found out that there

was and still is a dominance for red hair in all shades in my family.

My great grandfather was dark red haired , almost like dark mahogany,

 two of his daughters 

my grandmother Ellen and her sister Johanne both had red hair .

Johanne's only son Leif got his mothers red hair

One of  Leif's two sons got red hair too.

But my great grandfather also had a son Otto who got 2 red haired children .

 My grandmother Ellen's two children did not get red hair, but the daughter

my aunt  has two sons with red hair

And Ellen's son my father got me who was red blond when younger 

and my brother's daughter Anna has the most wonderful red hair

On my mothers side only my great grand father had red hair

And  the I had a red haired Uncle who's only daughter got a red haired daughter

So don't blame me for the interest and  love of red hair!

Since my great grandfather Christian Thomsen had dark red hair this post is for him.

Karlovsky

This painter sees the finest and most fragile color tones, his paintings are outstanding with a 

seldomly poetic gentleness. He always remember to paint the air  the almost invisible factor in

reality that so few painters notice!

Aage Berthelsen
Danish Painter

Many red haired persons  get almost dark reddish brown when they get older, like this woman

Alston Abbey

Malcolm Lipke

Lipke is very popular in America .

 I do not like the vulgarity in this and many others of  his pictures 

which makes the women look like horny nudes in male magazine photos . 

He is a  good painter though.

Tamara de Lempicka

She can paint sensuality and sexuality without falling into a vulgar expression.

Her highlight make shape they don't lie on the skin like snail slime
