Dreamscapes: Closing Reception

Dreamscapes:
This is a collection of paintings that were created over two and a half years. Half of this body of work is what one might call automatic-painting, where streams of consciousness are taken from the mind and colored on the canvas. These explore thoughts, dreams and experiences. The other half of this body of work depicts landscapes, masses of land, mountains, hillsides in the horizon, and cloud formations. They all come from the same palette of colors, but each develops its own viewpoint, a different story, a different world.
