Utterly original painting that was literally from a dream. With a deep teal background and intriguing details and subtle colours. From my "Colour Fields and Dusk" Series. 

"Waking Dream"

I’m not sure there is much time when I’m not thinking of painting at the moment 😄. I eat, sleep and dream paintings. I certainly go to sleep thinking of compositions, dream of brush strokes, and wake up thinking of colour combinations. I need to figure out a way of ‘taking a still’ of the paintings I wake up with! Some of them are stunning, and of course I can’t for the devil remember them 10 seconds later! 🤣

This one, or a version of it, I had etched into my memory as I woke up.

From my summer colour fields painting series.

The "Colour Fields and Dusk" series is an exploration of colour through abstraction: the interplay of translucency and opacity; the wonderful ways colour interacts; how colour conveys meaning and influences emotions. This series was further inspired by my taking up running along the seafront at sunset in summer. .

"Waking Dream" is the signature piece in my small collection for Artists Open Houses this year (May 2025).
