Dreaming...

"I Dreamt of Red II"




I wanted to present these two paintings which are a part of a relatively new series, and I have been trying to find the words to express exactly what they mean.  The problem is, I often paint because I don't have the words.  What is dreaming really?  Do we dream about our desires that go unfulfilled?  Of the future?  Fantasy?  Things we want but can't have?  Friends, love, companionship?  And what about the difference between a daydream and a dream we have while not fully concious?  I often think my dreams are in red, a color of fire, passion, love, and desire. 

"I Dreamt of Red"

These are the colors of my spirit.  The words sometimes follow, sometimes do not.  I paint to speak and I dream in Red.
