Lucid Dreams

IN MY LUCID DREAMS,

IN A WORLD THAT HAS GONE MAD,

HOPE IS FLUTTERING.


I had one last image that I wanted to try before I take a break from illustrator. I’ll resume after Christmas with some new ideas. Hopefully.

I got interested in this stained glass window look because I made a piece for my best friend, who is also a hairdresser. The image I made for her is of Rapunzel, and her braided hair is flowing down from the balcony wrapped in flowers—and two butterflies are fluttering near her shoulder.

My friend’s sister died over ten years ago—when she was about to turn 40—and now whenever my friend sees butterflies she’s reminded of her. Hopefully this poster will make her salon feel magical. I just sent it off to the printer today, so fingers crossed it’s done before Christmas.

I would share it, but it’s a really large poster and I’m afraid the lines would be lost by the time the shrunken image reached a cellphone screen. Some things only work in person. I think tonight’s image works great for the Ronovan’s Haiku challenge. As soon as I saw the word MAD I knew where to go with it.

That’s about all for now. Have a wonderful day or evening everyone…

    Beautiful image! I love the way the lines of the girl mimic the lines of the butterflies! ❤️🦋

    It’s a wonderful image–and though I don’t really know you well, when I first saw it (before reading post) I thought, “this is how Janet looks in my mind” 🙂 ❤ Z
