this buck is too early so now has to wait till the first morning light will arouse the outside world. i wanted to draw how it feels when i'm not awake yet but it's almost like begining to feel the world that's about to come to its senses at the other side of my eyelids and even with my eyes shut it is as if i could see my one of a kind mister hawthorn beside me and that's the door of my wardrobe left ajar and now i swear it is my carpet on the floor and that's my gitar at the corner and there are my toys and my schoolbag too for sure and when my mum wakes me up everything is in the exact same place the way i saw it a few minutes before while i was still in my dream. interesting isn't it? and you can read out of the eyes of the trees and the clouds oh dear you are too early! you are not expected till quarter to seven in the morning. And see he is still flummoxed and his dream is there gently laid over his back.
this drawing shows a clearing under the cover of the early morning mist you can see most likely when going by an intercity train still feeling a bit of some sleeping powder in your eyes and there they are just lines not moving but you can be sure they are there and they are real. for me that's the best part of traveling by rail to my grandparants. and on the way i know where to find those deers and rabbits and the birds i can see them even if my train's flying that fast cos i'm a pro a keen observer
The sleeping tree looks so sweet!
VálaszTörlésThe trees are very sweet :) and I like the story behind it.
VálaszTörlésVery cute Lili. I guess that's how the world is before you open your eyes. mr. Biblehead will be speaking tomorrow. Thanks for stoppinmg by.
VálaszTörlésOh yes she is like birdy, v.observant! Thanks for your comment, maybe I will give her a rubber ring next time we are on the beach :)
VálaszTörlésflummoxed, I love that word! Great illustration, I like the winking tree
VálaszTörléshi shelby healey. he is not winking he is like a border a dividing line and the bright side is the deer's dream and the sleeping side over the frontier is everything that is real the forest itself so he's like a boundary tree whose one side is always sleeping while the other is awake therefore he sees everything cos when in the real world it is daytime your dreamland is snoozing you know he is not meant to wink but sure it can be seen this way as well so he makes those who've arrived to the border early and therefore flummoxed by sensing those both worlds feel easy and calm so you do know now bye and thanks for dropping me your line
VálaszTörlésof course, thank you for the explanation Lili, I should really have worked that one out by myself shouldn't I.
VálaszTörlésbeautiful illustration Lili
VálaszTörlésthe cloud and tree expressions are so cute! love the morning and night contrast, i'd always be on the night side as it's always too early for me to wake up!haha =)
VálaszTörléssooooooooo cute, love smailing trees!!!!!
VálaszTörlésA very nice idea, deserving a fairy-tale! I like the tree, which is the dividing line between reality and dreaming (sleeping). I like that all the trees are smiling. And I've just noticed a little cloud in the shape of a heart, as if embracing a star?!
VálaszTörléshi Lili! I love how the day and night mix in that middle space, one eye shut, one eye open! The beginning of a new day is my favorite time of day! Beautiful little drawing you did here!
VálaszTörlésI love this transition from dark to light. Nice expression and use of color.
VálaszTörlésreally nice idea, i also love your trees
VálaszTörlésGreat concept...you have an art brain...which is good for art...and art brain would be of little value if you wanted to do something like being a parking cop...Keep up the good work young lady!
VálaszTörlésThanks for your comment Lili! My favourite is the tree in the middle and the way the whole piece's been coloured. The story behind it is very interesting too. Nice! :)
VálaszTörlésHello LiLi I cannot believe you only have one award so far! But I think you deserve a lot more. I have a feeling it won't be a long wait - you are very charming and realy are developing your talent.
VálaszTörlésThankyou for the comment on my blog. It wasn't me who was the unhappy boy in the background.
I was the sad Geppetto in the foreground ....
By the way, I really like the smiles on your trees. Superb.!
VálaszTörlésYour illustration always makes me smile! Have a great weekend!!
VálaszTörlésWhat's the matter with you, Lili? I hope everything is O.K.!
