I find dream analysis hilarious.

I find the sea very beautiful, though.

“To dream of hearing the lonely sighing of the sea, foretells that you will be fated to spend a weary and unfruitful life devoid of love and comradeship. Dreams of the sea prognosticate unfulfilled anticipations, while pleasures of a material form are enjoyed, there is an inward craving for pleasure that flesh cannot requite. For a young woman to dream that she glides swiftly over the sea with her lover, there will come to her sweet fruition of maidenly hopes, and joy will stand guard at the door of the consummation of changeless vows.” – Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901.

More dream interpretations here.

I’ve been messing around with these pencil drawings. Adding inks, watercolour and white acrylic. But I miss the grease and ooze of oils. Painting on paper just feels weird.

Watercolour print. I made about 60 of these over two days. I have no idea what to do with them. Are they finished?
