Surreal Landscape Painting Video
27 June, 2011 Filed in: Landscapes | Video
As you may have guessed, this blog is on hiatus while I enjoy my baby son. I've finally gotten around to finishing the video I filmed just 12 hours before my labor began:
The painting idea came to me in a dream I had while approaching my due date. The birth turned out to be harder than I could have ever imagined, but after 55 hours of labor my son was born healthy and strong. After using the painting as a focal point through hundreds of contractions, this scene is inextricably mixed with my memory of birth. It's now one of my very favorite paintings, although the mere sight of it made me feel sick for a few weeks afterward because it brought it all back so vividly.
The painting, entitled Origin, is not for sale but prints are available for purchase in my print store.
