I painted this on canvas a year ago (100cm x 113cm)

The Golden Slumber

Golden Slumber,
Golden Slumber.
we prick and stich the sleeping wonder.
With golden thread in silver gleam
We fix and mend your broken dream

Golden Slumber,
Golden Slumber.
We sing away your toll and plunder
and now you be
from what we seam
your life will glow, a golden beam.

.(R.E.Park - 2009)

This is a painting I'm busy with in Photoshop...the  poem I wrote above explains it a bit more.. :-)

The Immaculate conception of Joy

In the soft dawn breeze, Flora, fragranced with delight
blossoming amonst the crisp flowers, She stands  deeply growing with fullness of pollen waiting for Honey, entranced, to  inhale her golden glow
and fly off into the breeze
to fragrance the day with Joy...

thats the basic concept of this work.. woman is a flower, man/bee inhales her scent and collects it in the sac on his arm..then flies away and disperses it in the air to fill the day with Joy..A little myth I made up :-)

referenced from various photos , digitaly painted in photoshop.  last minute I extended the canvas- to make space for the wings ..

I will post the final image as soon as its done. I did this today while on leave.:-D
