Description

This ethereal Neurographic Gellyroll pen rendering on vellum is offered from a “deliberate scrawl”, and features the stuff Dreams are made of: castles, clouds , mountains, gardens and a glorious rainbow, ALL designed for a contest next week focusing on Sleepy Time. I began with four vertical center lines reaching up into what became a cloud filled sky detailing the requisite elements needed to form a rainbow from both particles of light and droplets of rain and Neurographic thickenings began to weave the final drawing.
I was regularly chastised from childhood into adolescence for being a daydreamer, having my head in the clouds. Where were these champagne dreams to come from the beer wallet of my nuclear family? Well, I studied, was awarded grants and scholarships, and, on my way to a career, found a handsome young man (or rather we found each other) who had BIG dreams too… and, as we both worked, played, cruised and put foundations under those dreams, moving from Dream into dream, state to state, traveling and adding, little by little, we finally built our right-sized dream and we have been enjoying it for almost fourteen years now. While this was rendered using Neurographic technique, the vision was already so etched into my lifetime of dreaming it, it was a very different experience…not as freeing or relaxing but rather a studied effort in trying to translate the realized Laurelland vision back into fantasy! I relied on a variety of drawing techniques to fill in the gaps (stippling, etching, simple Colour filling as well as working negative space not to distort the main elements. Usually, my Neurographic work takes on the abstract element which invites viewer interpretation. This rendering does NOT. IT SCREAMS…thru the child-like caricature…mine! Sometimes, “Sleepy- Time” is the space of pure potential which co-created matter from dreams. I can’t WAIT to see where your Neurographic rendering takes you!
