Global Dreaming - digital art by

“Global Dreaming” is the first of my new life ‘paintings’. It is entirely digital. Emma is my wife and my inspiration. Together we watch and dream about our small blue planet, with particular attention to the shrinking polar ice cap.

Made with Photoshop, Bryce, Kai’s Power Tools, Google Earth

    With diamonds…
    Great composition and mix of elements
    Personally I would pop this image into something like Correl PainterX or Correl Painter Essentials3 (The cutdown version but brilliant) you could then “paint” with your images if you have a wacom tablet. This would allow you to paint in the same style as your magnificent paintings.

  • Thanks TG, I’ll have to take a look at those programs.

    Wonderful image Dave!! It shows your love for Emma!!

  • Thanks Keith, Yes, love is what it is all about. Also love of our Earth on a more universal scale. The globe is a top down view over the North Pole. Examined carefully this globe does contain both our ancestral homes (China left, USA right) and shows the power of love to unite two people from opposites sides of a planet.

    excellent composition! love how your mind works…..

  • Thanks NB, Now this is the one I did spend some time on. Note how all the pieces fit seemlessly together. That’s the way it should be – a unified field, At least for me, that’s how I want it to be. I have the hunger. I need the time. Bloody day job.

    I visit yor world….
    Landscapes of earthly.heavenly visions.
    Curing the world thourgh love…
    Curing the soul through love…
    Curing the emptyness with love…
    Yes… somehow.. your love is fresh….
    a pinch of “envy” reaches my heart…
    cannot tell why..
    sometimes… sickness get to our being.
    In a shading veil of smug…. psycholoical smog..
    but I enjoy love in a ny form…
    as soon as it is not disguise…
    but a real force…
    Brave force yours… congratulations for all of you.

    Thank you Rosa, You see it clearly, and yes, it is no disguise. It is real. I would give it all to everyone if I could. Could we all still inhabit Earth if there was so much love? Well, we could try it and see what kind of world it would be.

    Your words are strong and from the heart. I bow before you and offer my art to you.
