    Vonne … a magnificent image … we should try to open it up and understand it sometime. Or … better yet … with any luck the completion of this magnificent creation could signal your release???? Bless your heart … bad dreams can indeed be shattering … but oh my heavens … what a way to USE them!!!! This is an extraordinary image … the emotion in it is, I’m sure, shared by us all at times!!!!!!!!! You are SUCH a talent!!!!! A pleasure and a joy to know you!!!!!!!!!

    Putting your dreams in a visual form as you have may help to understand why it has such an effect on you.
    I think it’s an awesome artwork Vonne…I can see the dreaminess/nightmarish of it.

    Vonne… You are so awsome.. I have been a power dreamer since I reached puberty. I looked at your image… That has so much power.. I think its your best work really.. I want you to try to learn to fly in your dreams.. It takes time.. Don’t fear the power lines or trees when you fly.. We as humans can be our own worst enemy. You own nothing in this world.. We live here to compare sweet to sour pain to pleasure.. How could you explain how an orange tastes to one who has never taken fruit ? You have nothing to fear dear Vonne because everything you are is eternal.. Some day I will explain how I know this.. When you are ready..

    Art has a price like all things and the fact that u have now painted a picture of this nightmare should be somewhat liberating especially if u embrace it as a part of u and your art and your journey in life…............look back on that child and know she is a survivor she is u

    Fog is giving us the drama of insecurity.
    Yes… it is water..
    but cannot swimm nor dive into it.
    It is air..
    but is does not sustain us if we fall..
    It is light but does not get us see the pathway, nor our own reflection.
    It is homely… intimate but persisting it puts us in extreme isolation.
    It is quiet… but so quiet that our own heartbeating becomes strange to us.
    So i understand your fears…. warmth will delete it… a light… the smaler.. will give you sight.

    Oooooooooo, I love this so much…....But I am sorry that it causes you distress. I totally relate to night mares, but they only have power if you give it to them.
    I think your dreams are a huge part of your creative process…....they let you see depths of emotion that others will never be able to understand. I don’t think you could have such wonderful talent with out having that insight. I never think to show my dreams in images…..but wow…..that would be a whole new world of work. THIS IS SPECTACULAR!!
