Face In A Dream

I had a very moving dream the other night. In it I had a vision of a woman, I felt her beauty and her strength. At first, I tried to capture it with a sketch but, I found myself having to paint her to pull more of the dream out of my head.  My mission was to find a way to express what I saw in my dream because dreams are so fleeting.  I am experiencing artistic angst trying to capture the emotion in her eyes.  I hope to complete her sometime this week.  
Have a wonderful Sunday.

  1. I love your painting! I think it is so cool that you are painting something from your dream. I don't know that I've ever even thought of that. She is really beautiful! Happy creating and be sure to have fun!

  5. I don't know why exactly, but I just love that hair! Good luck in finishing her. Isn't it cool how dreams can be made into art?
