The Dream
painting dreamscape figures park evening
Acrylic on board 24" x 24"
I have used a lot of colour overlay here which I'm not sure you can see well from the digital image (in reality also the blue is more purply). I used a very limited palette and kept away from my earth colours with the exception of raw umber which I love for providing a "steadying influence". The rest were cobalt, alizarin, yellow iron oxide, cadmium yellow and white. This time I kept the figures in as they seemed to insist on it. It's great working on this bigger size. With the small paintings I tended to discard and start again if it wasn't working out but with these I just continue adjusting, working on it. Maybe this one isn't finished yet - not sure - I'll live with it for a bit.

This painting looks like a magical mystery. I love the colors you used in this painting!!!
There is such a wonderful sense of mystery here!!! The opening to an incredible story....perhaps?!! Love it!
I just love the mysteriousness of these.
Thanks Janelle, good to know you enjoy the colours - its something I am concentrating on recently.
Roxanne - thanks for visiting - happy that you see a story in there
Jala - they call me the mysterious woman in Stalybridge (only kidding - they probably call me worse than that!)
Hi Sheila, I think your paintings getting better and better, this one is amazing! Thank you for remember me, the fact is that I've got a limited access to internet and so I prefer to post my paintings on Deviantart where I can get more contacts with more people. But I hope to resolve my problem very soon.
Hi Paola, thanks for your kind comments. Ok, I will look at DeviantArt - it's a while since I have been there.
Spooky, rich and wonderful!
Thanks Diane.
Thank you Roxanne, your comments much appreciated.
