I love listening to you. I also love the top youโ€™re wearing! ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜‰

The intensity of dreams can be scary because we want to interpret them so literal. I once had a dream that involved my daughter dying and I was heart broken for days because I took the dream literally. We had a big change to my daughterโ€™s life and I realized that later.

We want to understand and give meaning to our comforts. The same is true when we look at artwork that is hard to explain for process; such as abstract or surrealism.

This specific painting went through so many versions that I canโ€™t even explain. I painted over so much. I feel that dreams are similar. They can start so straight forward and as a fog of clarity starts to drift, the emotional power shifts to another reality.

WOW, Didnโ€™t mean to rambleโ€ฆ

I think your lioness and my lioness would make great friends! Haha.

This was by no, means, a ramble. My Lord these are some rich, deep, reflections. The visual you painted with these words toward the endโ€”describing the evolution of your art paralleling dreamsโ€”is SO, FUCKING, GOOOOD, OMG.

Thank you for sharing this personal dream you had. I imagine it was devastating waking up from that one. The shock would make it a sloooow process to move toward uncovering any symbolic meaning. Iโ€™ve learned death can represent quite a number of possibilities, but at the highest level typically signals change or transformation. It sounds like that was true for your little one.

Youโ€™ve absolutely shifted emotional powers to other realities with this painting. You blow my mind, every time.

And on our lionesses: I agree. Rawr. ILY.
