Waking in Dreams is a true original! This spirited and
surreal scene depicts a woman quite nearly floating through the clouds as she
lifts her dramatic, shifting dress to take a step, a flock of black birds seem
lifted from its fold and make off into the sky. The woman seems quite nearly an
organic extension of the cliff from which she steps, almost as if she has grown
from the rock. This is a testament both to the imagination and technical
ability of the artist. The scene we are presented with is full of meaning, if
you are only willing to uncover it. Waking in Dreams is rife with symbolism and
will surely spark conversation among all viewers of this dramatic and deeply
touching original canvas painting. There are a number of interesting
compositional elements to this painting that make it all the more eye catching
and attractive, to even the untrained eye. For instance, the arrangement of the
clouds in the background are anything but accidental! The different elements
that comprise the background create a frame for the main subject in an
endearing and beautiful way, order you to pay attention to the woman stepping
into the scene. The color palette is equally as ordered and stunning as other
facets of the painting featuring brilliant blues, creamy whites and dramatic
blacks that contrast and play off one another in fantastic ways.
The design elements of Waking in Dreams are also quite
striking. Instead of depicting this provocative scene on a single large canvas,
the artist amps up the impact by spreading it across five separate canvas
pieces that vary in size, creating a sort of visual crescendo as the eyes move
across the painting. The gaps between the various panels that make up the
painting starkly contrast the smooth brush strokes that are at work across the
majority of the piece. This creates and sustains a lovely duality that will
promote even more conversation among the viewers of Waking in Dreams. If you
