This drawing is based on a dream. The mother of one of my best friends (Helen Walker) told me that when she was young and trapped in a nightmare she would grab hold of a yellow balloon and float away from fear. Her daughter (Jessica Medani) said that when she was trapped in a bad dream a garbage man would bag up the whole problem and take it away. Her son (Dan Medani) would escape trouble by finding water and jumping in. This is a merger of their dreams, a type of family dream. I will paint this soon. Might make a good Spectrum 19 submission.

This is the largest family I have ever portrayed. Seven members and 3 dogs. The third dog is only showing her tail on the bottom right. It is a new puppy the family got a day before I was to finish this piece. Colored pencil, chalk pastel and white acrylic on custom toned Rives BFK. Gotta let em know.
