Inspired by Sleep Swimming by Gelka.

When I paint I like to listen to instrumental music but also when I am work as it is better for concentrating.

I was listening to the Spotify playlist Brain Food and this soft ethereal song came on with what sounded like crickets. It was so mesmerising.

I knew this one was something to paint to.

At that time I was having a hard time with “Evening Storm”, the colours weren’t coming together and I only liked half of the painting. Hearing Sleep Swimming resonated with my brush and I was able to conjure up a bright yellow corner, like a sunrise or sunset.

Most of the song is instrumental but there is a small verse at the end; sometimes I ponder it’s meaning and the possibilities.

Reality .. could be..
