I know, what the heck is that? Not sure. The critters sneak onto my work through the cracks in my imagination. They start as the involuntary images that pop briefly into view when my eyes are closed in bed at night, waiting for sleep. The next thing I know, they've slithered onto my paintings, making themselves comfortably at home. This one is iridescent, catching the light on it's armor. Let's hope it doesn't eat paper.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate! It was fun to create.
ReplyDeleteI love your playful fantasy creatures!
ReplyDeleteJim and I have been evolving a background for this critter all day long, and having such a good time at it, Debbie. It's a multi-dimensional, beneficial insect that infects the Human pineal gland in the brain, widening the cognitive abilities, the inspirational capabilities, as well as the health and well-being of it's host. It lives in a dormant state in the earth for millennia, cocooned, until Humans begin to become more civilized. It can only infect a Human once it's been invited. Hanging art, wind chimes, etc, attracts them. Kind acts and playfulness bring them out of the earth.
DeleteLOVE this piece - and I have a feeling your little 'critter' is very friendly. Would probably curl up on your lap and watch TV with you. LOVE it. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteYes, I get that sense, too, Donna. It purrs into your awareness.
