A Dream Come True

Inspiration and Concept

I was captivated by those magical moments when the sky paints itself in dreamy colors, when flowers dance in gentle breezes of the season changing, and when rainbows stretch across the horizon after the storm. This piece came from my vision to capture that feeling when everything just feels right - like when all the puzzle pieces of life just click into place.

Symbolism and Meaning

You ever have those moments when you realize you're living exactly the life you once dreamed about? That's what this piece represents to me. It's about those beautiful instances when you look around and think, "Wow, I'm actually here." The soft colors and flowing forms are like a gentle reminder that sometimes dreams aren't just dreams - they're previews of what's coming.

While working on this, these words kept floating in my mind: (by: life of a lonely whale)

"Upon soft clouds I lay my dreams 

On sunny days, They watch over me,

Reminding me, 'We are closer than we seem.'"

How I Made It

I had so much fun playing with texture on this one! I used my trusty palette knife to build up layers of drywall mud, almost like I was frosting a cake (but please don't eat it!). I kept sculpting and smoothing until the structure of the piece formed cloud-like shapes. I used an airbrush to blend colors that started flowing into each other like a pastel. Each layer added more depth, making it feel like you could just sink right into it.

The Heart Behind It

Have you ever experienced those quiet moments when you're doing something you love, and time just melts away? That's the feeling I want to share with you through this piece. When you look at it, I hope you'll find your own little spark of magic - a gentle reminder that your dreams are closer than you think. And remember, dreams really do come true - this piece is living proof of that! ✨

Let this piece inspire you to keep believing in your own dreams.
