I have had a long creative dry spell interrupted by intermittent periods where I have made what I consider to be mediocre works. In yet another attempt to jumpstart my creativity, I have begun to add to a series of work I did several years ago. This piece is called “What Dreams May Come”. It’s Acrylic on 18″x24″ canvas.
All comments are appreciated.

The essential thing, for me, is to offer a visual expression of those things in our experience that words cannot express www.jim-whalen.artistwebsites.com

Thanks, Greggo. Yes, this is from the existing series. I guess I wasn’t clear. New work to follow.

I always liked this series, Jim. It’s great that you’ll be adding to it. With this one, I like the way you can explore around and find interesting shapes and even faces.

I like the ghostlike figures that appear between the lines.
Lovely.

Hey Jim –

Kay just used the most appropriate word that fits;’splendid’! Great colors.

I have pleasure to look at your painting. I love first the effect of volume and depth, then the vibrant colours and then all I can see with the black lines: I can dream and imagine. Thank you for sharing.
