Exploring Inner Space
I did some stitching for a friend who is doing a project on patchwork.
I chose a really random subject that comes from a drawing I did in my sketchbook.
The actual drawing comes from an "All American Ads of the 60s" book by Taschen.
It was quite fun, I am not very good at this though!

Feeling of Spring
Today was particularly beautiful. Spring is coming and the sun is up in the sky.
I went to a garden near by with some friends and had the most perfect day.
We sat in a field of daffodils and had a picnic, looking out into a beautiful bamboo forest, a lake and a rhododendron tree in the distance. The garden ended up in the sea, where there was a little ice cream shop and we sat there, watching the sunny waves roll by. Gardens that end in the sea are one of the many advantages of living in Cornwall. Another is the Cornish ice cream.
I had my watercolours with me and decided I would paint the "feeling" of spring and not the landscapes themselves. I tried depicting the feeling of flowers and trees and of certain moments I was in.
Here are these feelings:
Woods, Sun, Leaves
The sea, waves, green reflections
The feeling of Spring
Daffodils and Bamboo

Dream Paintings
I did a few paintings based on some dreams that I had a few years ago. I have been keeping a dream journal for a few years and thought it might be about time to make a project out of them. I don't wright in it as much as I should, but I have enough material to do some paintings and drawings...
Here are some of the first paintings I did:
Dream of floating constructions on the beach
Dream my teeth are falling out
Dream of two white dogs, running
Dream of the Tar Monster
Dream of the Tar Monster
Dream of the Tar Monster
I think I will try and make some storyboards for these dreams as part of my next project, and also try and paint the feeling of the dreams.

Quality of Animaitons
I would just like to apologise in advance for the quality of the animations I put in here. I have not quite grasped how to export my animations without losing all the resolution, but as soon as I do, be sure I will post them again.
