Dream Image Painting March 18, 2014

   Have you ever had a dream that was especially vivid and you felt there was a message in it for you to understand? Sometimes I have these types of dreams and I look up their meanings and find very interesting things. In this case I found out that dreams with light prominently featured in them are definitely message dreams. My dream was of a sunset that was bright and beautiful...the sky was filled with rich purple and shining gold. So much gold that it overflowed and fell to the ground, gold dust or liquid dripping through the branches of the bare tree. The meaning of gold flowing through your fingers means you have lost something that you treasured. The sunset is of course the end of something also. The tree in this case symbolizes to me a person who has a deep connection with trees, who I had a relationship with that ended a long time ago.  I felt the need to express this meaningful dream in paint...making it big at 36" x 48."
    A painting can mark a meaningful time in your life or express a mood you want to invoke in your home to balance out what is missing in your life. For example if you have a hectic work life you may want a serene orderly and spare painting on your wall where you relax. If your life feels too orderly and controlled you may be comfortable with a busy, energetic and elaborate painting.
   Contact me if you would like to commission a painting or purchase any from my collection.
