Description This is a work in progress, for now it is finished, until the next step in my life happens.
So far...
I paint so I can sleep. Once the painting is out, I can sleep again...until the next painting, which unfortunately has already come upon me...
.
Where to start. Maybe the top. Ice and Snow, always been slightly obsessed with it. My dream holiday is a boat trip to Antarctica where I can trek across the tundra and DIVE yes I'm not making this up you can actually do this..don't laugh. More importantly, don't try to understand lol
.
No obsession with rivers and waterfalls, which comes next, but a fascination of erosion, or the carving of the earth. On the farm I grew up on (my dad was a miner and a farmer lol) we had erosion in one of the paddocks, and we went through many years of drought. Then rains came. When they came, it would form little rivers and waterfalls. My sister and I used to play in them, naming all the waterfalls. I guess this also helped my interest with environmental studies when I studied biol at uni.
.
Lake. or pond. I love water, but more the salty kind. I have plans for this part yet heheheh
.
Yggdrasil, The Magic Faraway Tree, The spikey lemon tree in the backyard, the supporter of life, the host of parasites, the marker of minerals, the essence of tranquility, the giver of air.
.
Behind the tree, yes I have plans for that too heehee. From the dark parts of my dreams, one that reoccurs.
.
Viking Burial Ship. Mortality I don't struggle with, but always feel my life is close to, well, closing. Have felt like this for the past 15 years though lol.
.
Lochy, or the dragon of the north sea, or any of those awesome creatures of the deep. Humans - we think we know it all!
.
A city in ruins. I first drove into Melbourne at 2am. I was about to crest the hill on the Hume Hwy, when I had to pull over, because I could see the light of the city emanating from beyond. It wasn't beautiful, it was scary. Cities scare me, I always paint them ruined.
.
Merman locked in icy waters. Ice again lol. and Merman, creature of the deep, Neptune, Aegir and his boiling sea.

Wow, I am lost in this painting. I see so many different aspect that tie into something wonderful.
The stillness yet contains much movement. I am entranced by this painting.
Reading about your reasoning behind this painting makes it much more meaningful. Also telling us about you and your sister playing in the little rivers and waterfalls on the farm gives it more depth. Just beautiful. I want to ride in the balloon to the next phase of the dream.
Just beautiful.
