Dream of Knowledge
A dream I had some years ago,where I was floating and so were some of my favourable books from my library,while a model in Spanish dress was waiting to be painted.Painted in acrylic on canvas,measuring 234cm. X 122cm. and it took 12 weeks to finish.

I love work based on dreams and this is a wonderful one. I wish the image was large enough to read the titles of the books:) Wonderfully imaginative and beautifully executed and both totally expect from you.

This painting makes me sing. It makes me want to leap into the screen and into the painting and into your dream. It is a dream I could easily have had, while awake, and you’ve made it real. It is Gabriel Garcia Marques talking to me from my bookshelf. Thank you

This is amazing Joseph. I can see it’s taken directly from your dream. Great subject matter. Very whimsical. And fantastic detail too. Well done!
