WIP – Painting a Dream

I began this painting maybe 2 or 3 years ago, certainly before I moved and definitely before COVID. I had dreamed of a story and when I woke, I felt like it belonged on the canvas.

For years, it was the painting of a rising sun and rolling green hills, unknowingly the cover for a great gem at the center of two worlds. Below, a passageway of dirt and stone leading to a luminescent underground lake.

And now, while still incomplete shows a little more of the story. A tree with roots coiling around the stone and a castle in the distance.
