32×25″ Acrylic on canvas. This began as an image I saw in a dream–or in the hypnagogic state just before sleep. That mass on the right–like floating against a blue field. I began with blue underpainting over the whole canvas, then roughly brushed in the contours of that mass. From there, is was the usual back and forth, responding to what I saw on the canvas, not trying to reproduce the dream image. I only wish I’d left the edges and corners as bare canvas, like a torn section of a map.
