The Art - "Golden Field"

Golden Field

approximately 8 1/4" x 5"; colored pencil on paper.


This is the first piece in my 100-part Joey's Book (AKA The Black Book) project.

Because The Black Book pieces are inspired by my dreams I'm a bit wary about going in-depth with my explanations here. I just have this idea of some psychoanalyst invading my head and ripping me apart. :P I'm sure I've loaded 'em up with enough ammo thanks to all my previous posts, so why compound my offense? My dreams are precious to me. I can deal with sharing them on this level... visually, because they pale in comparison to the actual memory. I feel that the memory is safe. Building on it with my words would endanger it and open me up in a way that I'm just not comfortable with. What I will say is that this wasn't a nightmare. This was one of those third-person perspective dreams, I viewed all the players from a great distance. And I remember not recognizing my form but knowing who I was, knowing it was me.

Anyway, I'm beat. I've been... this is very much a sketch, an experiment. I've been experimenting all day with this one. My thumb's sore, my back and neck ache and my eyes are failing me... I need sleep.

I am having some trouble remembering to breathe. This art took my breath away.It must have been an amazing dream to inspire and fuel this kind of art.There is so many different things you can read into but I am not going to even try since I am still having some difficulty breathing. You are a truly amazing artist. Whenever I see your work I get so emotional and I am not normally this emotional but.....its beautiful..Thank You
