023 - Bad Dreams

Ball Point and Brush Pen on Sketchbook Paper

Don't have a lot to say about this piece.  It's actually partly about a really bad dream I had!  The rest is influenced by a very long Baby Shower, followed by helping my friends cart all their new loot back to their home and helping them organizing baby clothes, toys, and accessories to be put away.

Dragon flies and Sun Spirals have been consistent imagery through my doodles.  I adopted them as symbols of appreciation and seizing the day after reading the Epic of Gilgamesh. "It is only the nymph of the dragon-fly who sheds her larva and sees the sun in his glory."

Basically, if you only lived on the earth for one day, like the dragon fly, and you only saw that one sunrise and one sunset, it would be Epic!  None of us can appreciate it quite from that stance, but we can try. :)
