Deep Sea Dreamer

Artist’s words:

This painting has been inside me for many, many years. I’ve been fascinated with the idea of a Sleeping Goddess who dreams eternally underneath the wavy depths of ocean water. The seabed is teeming with Life. The Goddess’s long curly tendrils of hair sprout eyeballs that can SEE the realities of Day while she sleeps. These “conscious receptors” allow Her to be AWARE consciously and subconsciously. Her endless dreaming is the magical Source for all of humankind’s limitless fabrications of Reality and Imagination.

I also credit two of Frank Herbert’s novels (which I read about 14 or 15 years ago), “The Jesus Incident” and “The Lazarus Effect”, co-written with Bill Ransom, as being partly inspirational for this resonating imagery. (Frank Herbert is the famous sci-fi writer, creator of the “Dune” series.)

This painting was created on acid-free french watercolor block paper. In recent years, Elizabeth has favored watercolor paint for creating psychedelic imagery because of its intense jewel-tone color range, glowing transparency, and non-toxic nature.
