This is a work in progress. It’s for a series I’m working on for my painting class which is paintings of my dreams. (My teacher suggested I think of it like a song, the subject matter is the words of the song and the way I paint it/feeling I give it is the instrumentation)

This particular dream involved an egg hunt and ended with me walking into my Grandmother’s kitchen and feeling confused. She smiled at me knowingly and looked out the window where suddenly the “egg” was revealed to me. 

On the recall of the dream I felt my Grandmother was a similar symbol to the High Priestess seen in tarot cards. So here I have the High Priestess concealing hidden knowledge in her hands (depicted differently than in the Rider-Waite decks) and wearing the horns of Isis (which I still have to finish painting)

All in all I’m flip flopping on whether I like this or not. One minute I’m happy with it, the next I’m annoyed with the colors of it, or the overall look to it. Though it looks the way my dream felt, so it has that going for it I guess. 

Side note: this project is really cool because now I remember my dreams more vividly every night because I think about them more often throughout the day.
