Inspired By The Masters

This month at the Art Journal Journey the challenge theme is Inspired By The Masters.

For my page I took my inspiration from Salvador Dali's Sleep. I decided that I didn't want crutches holding my head up but pretty butterflies that would let go of the strings as I woke up. In my sleep I'm dreaming of the countryside in the Summer.



I used acrylic paint and coloured pencils to colour my page, I think that if I ever did it again I wouldn't put the tiny flowers on.
Below is a photo of the original painting.
