so, this is my surrealistic picture... anyway, a lot of the detail is lost at this size, so I also posted in the gallery... For instance, you can't see the expression on the cat's face that asks "what am I doing here?"... The one in the gallery doesn't show that either.. It's the 1600X1200 that really brings out this picture, but somebody would shoot me if I posted that... :) anyway, this is influenced by DeChirico and Magritte.. The Dechirico influence is in the shadows.. The shadows in this picture are objects as well... And I've used various Magritte motifs... The bowler hat is by Virus, the umbrella by trimax, the rose by cindy at trillium36.com, the gateway is by lanover, he calls it a door :), the stairs by JohnSta, the glass urn by trimax and the bird was suggested by Steve... the reason the rain looks so realistic is because I poured a pitcher of water into the computer until it came out of the cloud... It ruined the computer, but that's the price you pay for your art... :) Nah, I'm only kidding, I did that in photopaint and brought it in as an alpha plane.. Same thing with the drops on the egg... Anyway, as the dreaming egg looks out upon the scene in it's mind, it knows that across the pale parabola of joy, it's embryonic journey is about to end and laments that it will no longer see the fairy of radiant head dress that would visit and pour upon him through half open hands perfumed stars... :)
