I’m not going to pretend that I’m the world’s greatest artist. I’m not even going to pretend that I’m an average artist. But I will say that I enjoy art because it gives me a chance to break away from the day for short spurts of time and put something on canvas just to see what it turns into.
Let me say that I’m an amateur artist, just working on becoming a better one. I do have a few paintings that actually look okay, though this one I’m not so sure about—you’ll have to judge for yourself. It falls into what is called surrealism.
I also like poetry, so I included that as well. This piece of surrealism is meant to project the subconscious, and you can read more about that in an article below. I’m not 100% sure this work truly represents a projection of the subconscious, because originally the dragon was supposed to be a wave. Then the wave started to look more like a dragon’s head, so I changed it into one.
After that, I thought it would be interesting to add a little ocean. The red in the background—probably more of a pinkish red—suggests a glow, a sunset, or maybe even a hint of danger. The ship is out there sailing against elements that are much larger than itself, but it seems to be holding its own. The waters are relatively calm, except for that dragon, which appears to enjoy playing with ships like toys.
I suppose the ship’s future is unknown, but we will have to wait and see. Thinking forward, I would like the next piece to be something about the deeper meaning of patriotism but unsure of what that would look like.
If your interested in this piece I can send it to you for $60 with free shipping. Might be worth millions someday...a current bottom basement price! 🤣 Here are a few other pieces. I have an online gallery for the photography but am going to start populating the page with different pieces. Photo and Art Page

| Dragons of the Sea 10X12" Acrylic Free shipping! $60 |
Dragons of the sea,
hidden in the wave they be.
Sailing on their way,
ships of the bay they play.
Great distances they see,
The creatures of the ocean agree.
