Once Upon a Dream

Once Upon A Dream

I love to sleep but sleep doesn't always love me back. I struggled with insomnia for a while and those fractured days were horrible, an endless blur where you can't wait to sleep but are afraid of going to bed and failing to.

The time before dawn was the worst. The bird calls were a sign that I had failed again and there was another day 
to fight through with a head filled with nothing but goo.

Thankfully I am recovered now, but the theme of sleep and solitude never left me.

Painted in watercolour and finished digitally. You can see my process as well as the original painting on the last slide.
