Alien Dreams: an Animated Painting

I like to paint, then use the art in new ways.  With this original cartoon animation, it was fun to come up with stories for the characters conjured up by my imagination.  In the 2025 Cartoon Characters oil painting, my sleeping man character, like Litle Nemo in the comics by Winsor McCay, is a dreamer of a series of short fantasy sequences.

Behind the Lichen-Covered Door

 A new 5x7 oil painting suggested a peak behind the door.  Added are some photographs from Mendocino in March 2016 and an original soundtrack inspired by Edvard Grieg's Bekken (Op. 62, No. 4).

Gulls at the Barn Door

The photo below the painting was shot (bad exposure) in Mendocino in 2016, and proved inspirational as the basis for the oil painting above.  The two gulls, a beautiful sunset (perhaps triggered by more unusual solar activity) and an original soundtrack were added.
