Flight Dream
Belief, hope and imagination are perhaps the three most important ingredients in life (love is a given). It’s been said that a picture needs not be explaind, but I want to tell how I arrived to the version you see.
I was looking at the picture as I took it and, from a certain bent of my imagination, I had the impression it looked a bit like a bird with the wings spread in flight. And that inspired me to give the original a “magic touch” and make it look more like a dream flight.
The transition into blur and B&W would like to depict the undefined boundaries between the normal awareness state and the dream state, that particular place or state where anything and everything is possible and where all the miracles of creation happen: the land between the ordinary and the miraculous.
I hope I have captured that essence.

your imagination has captured beautifully exactly what you have seen in your reality.
Very beautiful image that looks like it is alive and about to come to life or alternatively taking its last extraordinary breath – could be either.

Hi iCandor, this is one amazing image! It certainly does look like a mystical bird in flight. Thank you so much for sharing your process, I really enjoyed reading what you wrote.
RosaCobos
Yes….imagination can not fix the lines….
it is a blurring movement with accomplishing transformation.
That is why when one creates something…is wishing to meet again…the muse of a new creation.
So the flight is there….real and cmoing from the blurring essence of the imagining and the heart that nurtures it.
Rosa (thanks Vasile for your so kind comment on my “inviting bed”)

I missed it until now, but it became an instant fav! It’s simple and moving – not just because it creates the sensation of moving. Great artwork, Vasile!

Dear…!
This remembers me a quote from “Chuantzu”
“I once dreamt that I was a butterfly…..or was I a butterfly that was dreaming that was Chuantzu?”
If such a wonderful phylosophic words come to me…when I see this flying leaves…then you have comply with one of the most essential questions of Humankind…
“what is really our consciousness?”
