Carnival Discharge

There once was a little baby elephant taken away from her home.  She arrived at this place with tigers, lions, llamas, bears, horses and others of her kind.  It was very colorful, but soon she learned of the pain that ensued.  Little Sylvia grew to be beaten and her spirit was weakened, but her skin grew tough.  There was an opportunity to escape and finally she found the courage to break free and leave the carnival.  She is now happily wading in the pond with the sun rays beaming from the sky.

Gustav Klimt is AWESOME.  This is inspired by his works.  Enjoy!

Dream

Following up on my puppy dream!  I was reminded that I didn't look up what it meant, which is funny because I usually do.  So, I looked up the meaning of my dream and I'd like to share it with you all.  Here it goes!!

  Puppy

To see a puppy in your dream, symbolizes your playfulness and carefree nature. It also refers to a blossoming friendship. If you are taking care of a puppy, then it means that you are reliable and trustworthy. Others can depend on you, especially during difficult times. 

To see a litter of newborn puppies in your dream, is indicative of the amount of time that an idea has been developing or will take to develop. Look to the number of puppies to give you that approximate amount of time.

Abstract, 48 x 24 in.

Flight of Fancy is a dream I had last night. There was this beautiful, colorful Beagle puppy frolicking around in my grandmothers backyard with my puppies back home. I woke up with a huge smile on my face and an inspiration to paint what I saw in my dream. He is sleepy from running around in my head all night and so I let him rest on my feet. :)

Meditation

Meditation is a piece I did today from a conversation I had last night about finding myself.  I had a rough year in 2009 and it took alot out of me.  From January up until August I had an absolutely terrible year from the choices I made.  I thought I knew who I was.  I lost my mind that year and I was reckless in a sense.  I was lying in bed with Casey last night talking to him about that.  I worry alot about everything and he suggested I look at meditating and trying to be happy with myself, by myself because in the end, we have to be happy with ourselves.  So, this is a painting of my frustration of my mind constantly running while my body and soul are still attached and the title is the solution to that problem.  Enjoy.
