Dream Time
This is for Garth, Allen, Tom and others who wanted another posting.
Dream Time 30"x36" Acrylic
Actually i am cheating a little here as i took this off our living room wall to shoot and post. The work was actually completed in 2003. I see many problems with the painting now, but we love the pose and the feeling so I am forbidden to touch it again.
The painting is based on a shot I took of my son in 1980 (terrible reference shot but great pose). We were living in an apartment over a garage at the time and i caught my son day dreaming out the window. The day was pretty gloomy but I could just imagine where his active little mind was taking him. The painting reflects where I think he was in his imagination.
