My acrylic painting: Fairy Mushrom Garden

in #hive-1586943 years ago

I don't know what it is, but this morning I woke up at 5am. Since I have the window open all night to keep the room nice and cool (and luckily there are no mosquitoes yet!), I heard the birds singing early. A finch was loudly squabbling with a crow, while a tomcat, overheated with love hormones, serenaded at one of the ground floor balconies.

It was a funny situation, but then I went back to sleep for a while. I was renting a big old house in my dream, where lots and lots of people used to stay. They even used my limited wi-fi and ate my food, which they found in the fridge. Outside, in front of the front door, a large rooster was perched on the railing, flying surprisingly skilfully. It belonged to a neighbor, but I liked it because it was a gentle bird.

The uninvited guests were increasing in number, and it was impossible to rest or do anything. After a while, I got over it and wanted some peace and quiet, and most of all I was trying to get my privacy back. I quickly pushed them out, but I had the idea that they should not be forcibly ejected, just nicely, politely, but very firmly. And, with difficulty, but I did it!

What does my dream symbolise? I feel that these unpleasant people represent thoughts, habits and beliefs that I no longer need. They just took my energy. But I cannot wean myself off anything by force, by withdrawal. Chocolate should not be associated with guilt.
The rooster is the bird of a new dawn and don't necessarily have to cockcrow to wake me up.

I finally finished the painting I started yesterday! Now I'm very happy with it and I hope it's as surreal as my dream!

See the process as I went layer-by-layer.

First I drew these mushrooms on a piece of fabric:

I also found a canvas with a purple-yellow background.

Well, it would be OK, but...

woud be much better to paint a bigger light spot:

Wow, that will be OK!

But what if I give it more life:

Now it's time to glue the cut-out mushrooms!

I began with the green grass:

The mushrooms have a mysterious dark red color, with dark brown and black stems:

This is the final result with fairy orbs. I really love it!

That looks like a very homey garden.

Thank you! Already tagged! :)

What a dream @fairyberry those things do tend to mean something.
I like the painting and seeing all the steps from creating it. 😊 thanks for sharing!

Thank you! My early morning dreams are the ones that give me the most meaningful and useful information. So if I wake up before 5am, I go back to sleep and get messages from that other world.

Very interesting to hear @fairyberry 😊 thanks for sharing.
Have a great day 👋🏻☀️

I think the layers made it even cooler. Very interesting art.

Thank you! Glad to be active here again. I had a period of passivity, a kind of minor burnout, when nothing motivated me. But then I got going! I can't imagine posting here even when I don't feel like it, out of necessity. I can only do it with a whole heart and soul.

I definitely understand burnout! It's best to only post when you feel connected to your own content. So, glad to see you back. =)

I love it, too!
Interesting dream. I like your interpretation. It sounds accurate and relatable.
Don't feel guilty over chocolate.

Thank you! I try not only to create images, but also to write down my thoughts, which usually come early in the morning.

Writing early in the morning does bring out some interesting thoughts. I still prefer sleeping early in the morning.
I just realized your cat profile drawing has different color eyes. Pretty!

This is an awesome work. The background brought more beauty to it.

You done a very good job 👏🏾 keep up the good work I hope that you have a wonderful day today and a great weekend ahead 🤝🏾

Wow, it look fantastic, I really love it! 😍
