and other weird visions. This actually came to me in a dream and don't ask me what I had for dinner last night. I don't know if it was a Timothy Leary version of Disney's Fantasia or bad cheese.I'm curious what you think ( besides a possible 72 hour hold) of this oil on 18x36 stretched canvas.

Wow!!! A lot of Freudian imagery here. I love things that puzzle the mind like this. An African Elephant's head balanced on a ballerina’s toe. Delicate and nimble but overbearingly heavy. The mere sight of an elephant is to realize its crushing power but you control it with perfect feminine balance.
Hey Sheila, What a fun piece...you are bursting with creativity! I love all the color you have in the grey of the elephant. I don't know what Freud would say. But if you keep this up, they will come and take you away ;)
OK, I have to admit that you had a weird dream. I think some dreams are messages from your subconcious. If this one is one of those, then my interpretation would be "Sheila, take it easy!." :)
It was a weird dream, but I'd like to add that elephants walk so softly and gently that you cannot hear them, they just appear - so maybe the ballerina nose isn't quite out of place.
Ok here is the official analysis. You are having a difficult time finding you balance. The weight you carry is overwhelming and you are really trying to keep your poise. However a side of you know to look on the brighter side of things because your just a positive person. Lovely colors!
Sheila, I came here to comment on your SF house (which is very nice) but I got sidetracked by looking at this wonderful elephant (up close especially the colors are just exquisite) and the adorable bulldog below. As you can tell I'm a big fan of going with your imagination and it looks like you really did that with this elephant, I LOVE it! The draughtsmanship (sp?) is solid and yet it has a whimsical feeling to the lines and colors. *Great* job. (and of course, Hugs!)
I like it very much because it is my favorite BIG animal. Yes elephants.Than cows.
They are all over the house for good luck I guess?
elephants love to dance!!
