scene from a dream

i have been waking up these past few mornings chalk full of ideas for paintings and pictures.
however as ive learned its harder to act on these impulses than what i first imagine :P

the other night i had quite a dream.
there was a swan who lived in a tawny forest who fell in love with a man. he was going to leave her so she trapped him in an egg then wrapped layers upon layers of tawny hair around it in the shape of a heart, then came down to earth as a girl and held the egg close to her.

i woke up thinking it would make such a beautiful picture
and that beautiful picture has turned into my waking nightmare :P
i am no where near done but i can show you some of the progress ive made
it was a very "well its something like this" sketch"
you can see i was in a rush to get everything done :P my doom
while i started coloring all the hair... i hated the face
so once in photoshop i have probably remade it 3 or 4 times now...
If anyone is skilled in poetry and would like to write a poem in regards to the dream to put on the picture thatd be awesome! send it my way - id really love to see what sortve text i could put on there ^^

The concept of the picture was always nice
but my speedy drawings and work always tend to come back at me... making it more of an effort than i had originally thought.

but ill let you know how i get on.
i also have 2 acrylic paintings lying around, and an another dream painting i thought of...
in my dream i was painting for Emmy - a little japanese girl cheering and flying over a suburb street holding a cat LOL

lets see when i can make that a reality :P

p.s. and i finally found all my new brushes for photoshop! whoa! just take a look at the tiny sample i created :O

    Haha, your comments made me giggle :P

    I know! Im going to the cinema in Gothenburg for a VIP thingy of the Fast and Furious 5 with a friend on Saturday eve.
    Where do you stay when you're here, at his sister? And where does she live? As in which part of Skövde :P I might get home before you leave!

    And I'm gonna keep every weekend in the end of June/beginning of July open now..!
    Might come down and steal your tree when I'm done with my exams end of this month. I want to see Liam too! When I see him, should I speak english or swedish to him? :P

    Anyhow, thats all the questions I could think of right now. I feel like I've been on a sugar rush all day :D xx

    yes we are staying at his sisters who lives in the skultorp area.

    hehe yes ill tell the tree to keep its flowers awaiting your camera :P
    liam will be with his dad until the end of july so unfortuantly youd miss him in that case but as a general rule you can speak english to him, with baby bits of swedish.

    Still no crashing! And is that phone number yours or richards? Just so I know which language to speak when calling it next :P I do guess I'd be able to tell by the voice.. unless he has a very feminine voice. :P
