I love work based on dreams and this is a wonderful one. I wish the image was large enough to read the titles of the books:) Wonderfully imaginative and beautifully executed and both totally expect from you.

This painting makes me sing. It makes me want to leap into the screen and into the painting and into your dream. It is a dream I could easily have had, while awake, and you’ve made it real. It is Gabriel Garcia Marques talking to me from my bookshelf. Thank you
Joseph Barbara replied

Hi Margot, thanks for your comments,I appreciate them.By coincidence I read GG Marques, ‘Hundred Years of Solitude’.Keep well, Joseph.

I’m so glad you painted this dream, and woke with enough of it trailing through you to do just that. It’s fabulous and delightful, and I love that these things were of such importance to you and equal…the books, and the attending model to paint. Fine dream. The floating you is terrific. Well done!

What a good idea to paint your dreams. I wish I could paint some of mine, but it would be too hard =) It must have been fun to float…

Joseph Barbara replied

Hi Claudia, many thanks for the comment and for putting me on the watchlist. Had a look at your impressive portfolio and I like the colourful geometrical designs you create, reminds me of some of Wassily Kandinsky’s (1866 – 1944 )works. He’s one of my favourite atists.Take care, Joseph.
