Hi Donna, In some circles it's a bit frowned about to share too much. But I find it really interesting personally. Thank you and thanks for commenting!

I do dig it! 3 pieces we haven't seen! The dream about the mobster is pretty incredible. I love that that was your takeaway feeling: I'm not afraid. Pretty great painting; I love the juxtaposition of the words within the image. You're (almost?) speaking with a gun in your mouth. Which reminds me of the piece about your brother. Powerful might sound a boring word. Two very different styles in the same work. The bright red drip into the grey of consciousness--the meeting point--is my favorite part of this beautiful work. In "Boyhood, Broken", who is the onlooker? You don't mention him in the description. And what does the graffiti say?

Hey Beth! Thank you, it was such a visceral dream, I felt powerful in it, in control! Make of that what you will? haha!

Ah yes, the onlooker, maybe I will say more about that in the post. In short, it's my late older brother, so there's a link between the last two paintings there. The graffitti was my 'tag' when I used to do "rural graffiti" as a lost youth. Sadly, I painted on walls surrounding a beautiful spot near a river, which I didn't appreciate then!
