I dreamt of dust, mama
The other afternoon, Jaz awoke and told me he had dust in his dreams. "Dust?", I asked. "Yes! Dream dust!". How these beautiful ideas and images are trapped in a little one's mind will always surprise me. These thoughts and others inspire a whole host of images in my own adult mind... tho I'm sure they can't compare. Sometimes they make it into the sketchpad and others in ink and paint.
This new painting is called "Hither and thither". Watercolor, ink and pastel, approx. 24"x18"
The process is always such a journey and I honestly haven't a clue where I will end up, so I don't bother with predictions. Am I talking about real life too? You guessed it. Yup. I made at least five sketches, then painted this scene four times. I think my ideas have finally come to rest in this one. Here are snippets of that process:
By the way, it's a surprise to me, but it turns out there is a possibility I may be doing a show of my artwork with another artist in a few months if I can be ready by that time. I'm just a little excited to even have a possibility of that happening. It's only in the talking stage at this point... but we shall see.
