WAKE UP
24x18" gallery canvas
mixed media: modeling paste, graphite, various acrylics
This piece was created on a heavy-duty canvas. Prior to painting, the entire canvas surface was textured with modeling paste, which makes painting over it difficult - yet the end result is that it adds much more interest. The gallery canvas is 1.5" deep, the sides are painted black (no framing necessary) which gives it a floating look when it's hung.
There are times in life when I'd rather sleep. What thwarts me there is the insomnia that perpetually chases me. If you sleep easily, know that I envy your ability, especially those of you who can fall asleep quickly, I'm not so lucky. The title has a few meanings to me - first, it's a reference to normal sleep, which I don't have, and because of that - I'd prefer not to be awakened if it isn't necessary. Second, it's about waking up and seeing exactly how they are, getting your head out of the sand, and dealing with reality. Of course, this piece of art may resonate with you in an entirely different way!
