Here goes the 2nd step of the design of this web site. For the footer, I painted these collection of leaves inspired by a series of lucid dreams that I had many years ago. I dreamt I was in a garden where all the flowers and plants were made of energies and pure light. I can swear this is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking things I have seen in my life. They would glow in different colors and looking at them created a mesmerizing feeling in me. These recurrent dreams had a big impact on me. For a long time I have wondered about how to put this experience into images and music and it really changed my scope about the perception of the art and nature in life.

In a former post, I wrote about how I used some ivy leaves that I picked this winter during my walks. Other leaves were inspired by a picture of Alice In Wonderland’s ride in Disneyland that has been in my mind since I was a kid. I haven’t had the privilege of visiting Disneyland, but when I was a kid I used to read a book about it over and over. I still keep it at home. The picture in the book shows some beautiful leaves which I believe were based upon Mary Blair’s designs for the film.

In the next step I will talk about doing a font based upon my own calligraphy to use it on the web site.
