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.
