Some days ago you could see a close-up of my art journal page in progress. The paint is now dry, so I wanted to share it with you.
The page is based on hypnagogia: hallucinations and pre-dreams before falling asleep. I saw the image a couple of days ago and decided to paint it, with as much similarities as possible. In the vision, this work was created by a friend - it was impossible to create an identical work, so the mixed media and crack paint (which you unfortunately can't see on the picture) is typical my style - not his (or at least, that's what I think since he is not an art journaler).
While putting the first layer on, a rune appeared. Ansuz, which I made more salient when I finished the work. I'm not sure if this message was meant for him or for me, but sometimes we are busy with the same stuff, so I guess we both can work with Ansuz's energy.

That is interesting. I don't seem to remember that part of falling a sleep. Great painting!

Beautiful colors, and the tree does have a feel of dreams...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layers, colors, and textures.
ReplyDeleteNIce look to this and like the meanings behind it as well. Love dreams. hypnogogic state and hypnopopic after and before dream/awaking, hadn't thought of those words in years. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like the background colours and layers behind the white tree.I often see shapes and symbols when splashing colour about and it's great fun when you pull them out
ReplyDeleteNever knew what those images were called...now I'll have to pay more attention to them. It is very dream-like and moody, one of those pieces that will mean something different to everyone who looks at it.
ReplyDeleteare you kidding me? this is incredibly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! And fascinating your memory of your dreams and the interpretation.
ReplyDeleteInteresting... and beautiful!
