Cadmium Red - new start for an oil painting

The images above and below show the initial progress on the painting I am currently painting. It is a departure from the square color blocks that I have been creating. It should be interesting to see how the drawn out rectangular shapes effect the composition and how I will go about making my choices of color. The cadmium red is painted initially to be certain that I thoughtfully break up the composition. There is no other known intention here other than the fact that I enjoy using this particular hue of red.
