Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

The sleep of highly active people fascinates me.. This painting of the contemporary dancer, Courtney Scheu, explores her feelings of sleep being like a heavy bottomed cloud. Courtney is an extremely active person, with a sharp mind and is highly inventive in her art. I coupled her with the Orion Nebula for it’s reputation as the ‘birthplace of stars’. I perceive this as birthplace of ideas and creative thought.

This painting is part of an ongoing series, where I am exploring various aspects of sleep, particularly the sleep of creative people..
