These Dreams

These Dreams by Lee Wilde

These Dreams

subject: This painting began as a self portrait, however the nose and mouth were wrong. I was overtired I suppose…haven’t been sleeping well lately. As I fought with it…another face began to emerge….a familiar face. Eventually I realised its the face of a friend I haven’t seen in almost 20 years. Why this face should bubble up out of my subconscious now, I have no idea. Although I have been thinking about the past a lot lately.

currently listening to: These Dreams by Heart

medium: Acrylic paint and soft pastels on 185gsm Arches paper. Sprayed with fixative.

size: 42cm x 59cm (A2)

    Very nicely done and I love the story that surfaced as you “faced” your past!! Great job!!

    The title, even if just the song you were listening to Lee, seems so very appropriate
