The Keeper & The Dreamer

This work, will either be titled as above, or “The Dream Keeper”. I cannot decide.

It was an exciting piece for me to work on and watch as it unfolded from the tip of brushes. But, it had to be big, I think, to pull you in to the dreamscape, where you become a part of the story. Or at least, that is how I hope it affects you when you see the painting.

It is a large piece 30x40x2 inch gallery canvas, and created with acrylics. I’ve never been overly fond of acrylics, but I am becoming so, more and more. I’ll always miss oils, but that is a battle for another day.

This piece will be part of the upcoming show with

Ebb & Flow, Antiques 71 River Road Faber, Virginia

Fun Facts about this place: remember a long running series called The Walton’s? This building, originally connected with the series of the Waltons. Oh, and they just happen to be right off the Brew Trail: https://brewridgetrail.com/

Art Postcard idea coming up next….I’m designing them for the upcoming events, shows.

I feel like I have need of a creative break. I’ll do my best to entertain you with interesting blog updates, and I need to focus on finishing up my outline for an upcoming speaking engagement, I let myself get talked into. 45 minutes……..those poor people. If you’re in the area, I am speaking to the Hill City Art Club, September 6 at 10am. Send me lots of good, positive energy, and vibes, and karma, and anything else good you want to forward!! I’m really wishing I had my friends skills of being a ‘bull-shit artist’ right now.

Until next time.

Peace, Valerie
