Painted Dreams

I’ve had a lot of dreams about water lately. Night time images often heavily influence my he(art). This painting called “On The Eve of Something Beautiful” is based on the dreams I’ve had of flowing water and feathers.

The dress of this young woman drapes across her and forms a river where a small sprout comes forth. On the sprout is a cardinal, on the limbs of her hair is another. I’m a lover of texture so there’s a lot of that to see as well. Greens and hues of blue are accented by bursts of orange and small dabs of yellow and red. Her face is half concealed, her arms folded around her holding her inner earth steady above the river.

On The Eve of Something Beautiful has version one and version two. Displayed in this entry is version two. Please see link to view both paintings.

    This is an example of making bad thing turn into a beautiful creation. An original idea of illustrating or painting nightmares into a beautiful work of art. This must be inspiring a lot of stressed people that dream bad dreams at night due to various challenges that confront them everyday of their lives to allow themselves to let go of emotional loads in order for them to be able to move on and be happy in the end.This endeavor brings so much positivism that even pose potential excellence due to artistry in rarity.
