Dream a Little Dream

2024

Acrylic on Canvas

Unframed, sides are gallery-finished and come ready to hang

70 cm (W) x 70 cm (H) x 4cm (D)

'Dream a Little Dream' has a base layer of torn music sheet paper glued onto the canvas. I then build up layers of shading with pencil for the delicate facial features, pointillism with acrylic paint for her hair, peony flower and the background which gives each piece texture and depth. 

This piece has been inspired by 'Sadako Sasaki: and the thousand paper Cranes'...  a story that speaks to children and adults all over the world with its messages of hope, love, and peace. However instead of using cranes, I have added 'Peace Doves' as my tribute to all of the children who have lost their lives and were/are affected by war.
