Instinct



Red's instinct told her to head of to Granny's house right away, but she simply couldn't
resist just one dance with such a charming wolf. Oh why, oh why do we ignore
the voice in the core of our being that says, " Something is wrong fool,
don't be a sucker for this foolishness!" We somehow put it in the back of our minds.
Instinct is there for a very good reason.
It's your indicator that let's you know, something is fishy.
So the next time your gut says ,"Don't buy that car it's a lemon!!!!"
or "I needed to call you just to say I love you and I was thinking about you."
or "Don't marry this chick she's a mental case run don't walk to the nearest exit now!!!"
Listen up Yall!!! and I know you know what I mean.
He he he he he! Instinct, it's more than a fragrance use it!!

  1. Hahaha! Oh, lady, you KILL me! It's more than a fragrance.... ! Fabulous fun, this one! Of course, they ALL are, but this tells me to get up and dance, against my better judgment. I have bad instincts. And a weak gut.

    Can my wolf come over and play with your wolf?

  4. We don't always have the right instinct that's why we make wrong judgement.
    I love this piece by instinct....and it seems to me that I can recall the scene from movie "dances with wolf".

  13. What wonderful gestures in this piece as well as the feel of danger due to that deep red - great take on the topic and just a wonderful illustration overall... but of course that comes as no surprise. =) Hope you are having a good weekend.

  14. First off I think this is brilliant. But I got a very different take from the image than from your post. Red looks really happy. This gave me the impression that not all wolves are bad--some are really good dancers! (I love the fragrance bit though.)

  15. This Little Red reminds me of the one in Into the Woods...
    She should think twice before spending time with that shady fella!

    Nice one Vanessa ...love that brilant red!

  33. Love the color and playfulness of your painting. And, yes, we must learn to follow our gut more! The heart is a wonderful indicator, but can get us in trouble if we don't use our brains too!
