The above is a water colour that came to me in a dream. Has that ever happened to you? Anyway, the next day I sat down and painted it, and so it became a reality.
This here is a pic of one of the water dragons that live in our front yard. We live at the bottom of a mountain and the flora & fauna is plentiful! I took this from inside the house, (he was on our front porch) frightened that he would run up my leg or worse! (They're actually quite tame!)
If I dream it can never paint what I saw! So that's pressure!
ReplyDeleteI have never before seen this animal, Patti. It looks rather large! What an unusual place you live in!
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel pressure to create. It is not fun at this point yet because I also feel time pressure WHILE I am creating because I have so many other things I'm neglecting in order to create. I would like to change this, though.
Thank you for both pictures! xoO
compelled, driven even sometimes, but not pressured. It comes from within, rather than a pressure from outside...most days amyway. And definitely it PLAY ! Yay for that !
ReplyDeleteYour lizard friend is beautiful but the idea of him climbing my leg gave me a shiver of revulsion...maybe I need to know him better first ! ;)
Happy Playing, Talented One !
love the colors in your painting and the way you did the glass jar. the lizard is cute. i have never lived anywhere where lizards live except for salamanders which of course aren't lizards but sort of look like them in miniature.
ReplyDeleteYour dream painting is gorgeous. I love it! And I wish I lived somewhere with tame lizards like these. I would try to play with them.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should and I do want it to be play. Challenges help me get focused and do it.
ReplyDeleteLove all your work and the little green guy too.
