mixed media: on wood: acrylic paint, collaged paper, stamps, graphite pencil
24" X 19"
debates in the nether regions between the shades of real and imagined characters, sometimes with supernatural beings.

i have always been visited by family and friends who have died. they come to visit me in my dreams. although they never talk to me (the dead can't talk) i know they are coming to see me and see how everything is going. my most often visitor is my beloved mother-in-law. i am always delighted to see her because i love her very much and miss her every day. when she was still alive i would often call her to tell her that dad (her husband, neal's father) had come to me. she would always ask me how did he look. i would reply he looked wonderful. she took much comfort in that.
this summer a good friend of mine died. i dreamt about him and in my dream i said "can you see, he is not dead, he is not dead". but alas, he did not speak......he just came to see me since i had been on summer holiday when he died and i did not get a chance to say goodbye.
i find it very comforting to have everyone come to see me.....

COMMENTS MADE:

Thank you for sharing your extraordinary experiences and the art derived from them....it is always interesting to find what motivated the artist to express themselves.....in a certain way....

Jennifer: I love reading what you have to say about the dead, the spirits, the places beyond the obvious... in your thoughts, words and art. I find a lot of comfort in what you see, do and display. It's so interesting, but also refreshingly honest and creative.

Really a great work! Intense...bravo!
