I thought I would continue on from the last post and have a few more surrealist paintings.
Surrealism can be about dreams or something from the unconscious mind, well, this is the theory anyway! These paintings are not about dreams but they do come from an inner suggestion or impulse, so surreal is probably an appropriate terminology to use here.
The top one is a small sketch painting and in due course I did a much larger version, but I have always preferred the sketch. Sometimes a small scale can feel more intimate as if you are holding an idea in your hand.
