This is my latest art project which was created from my dreams that had lasted over
a month night after night. Last night the dreams ended.
The paint, glue and baby powder were bought. Everything else was recycled, up-cycled or
already on hand. I painted, glued and sewed, but did ask for help with cutting the wood.
The project is , " Electric Blues".
A guy frustrated with issues at home goes to the lake to fish. He
brings his electric guitar to play as he is sad. He is blue. He sees 2
huge blue fish jump out of the water. He is inspired.He goes to his
boat.
In the dreams the boat is sometimes colorless , sometimes different
colors. I painted it orange mainly as I did not have enough yellow.
Wanted it to be like a yellow submarine.But alas it did not turn out like that.
It looks like a birdhouse laying down instead of the rowboat it actually is.
I painted flames on the sides but they did not turn out well so another
coat of orange went on.
He has no time to fish but wants to, so he sits in his boat . The boat
sits on stilts or whatever they are called. The boat never enters the
water. It is over the water. The guy plugs in his electric guitar into
his boat. He couldn't do that at home as he has no electricity. He
plays his music. The blues. Soulful electric blues.
He turns up the volume and a school of Electric Blue fish swim around
his boat and literally jump on the hooks hanging on the sides of the
boat. He fishes thru music.
Every note he plays causes a stir in the water. More fish come . They
do not jump onto the hooks. They dance and jump around the boat . Not
in a frenzy but in a happy mode. The man,upon seeing this, no longer
feels sad. He is happy as his music still has life. And so does he.
