Dreams
Dreams are my nightmare.
They are what I wish were real and what I fear to be true.
That one moment where one is illogically imprisoned in a fiery death-trap among the smoldering remains of a disintegrated flying-machine�
the next falling, without sound, into the soft embrace of an anonymous lover.
Sleep is no less fitful in my maturity but dreams have become real enough to touch, even though the script is unpredictable and borders of surrealism constantly exceeding the necessary.
It is like threading a knife-edge in a blizzard.
Most mornings, half-digested stories crowd the early drive to work.
It makes me smile sometimes, but I rarely understand the implications.

BLUFF OR MASTERY? There is NO doubt in your entries as to your aesthetic, Ray! always Masterfully executed. BEST to you
Ray Agius replied:
Francesca decided to leave her fiancé 2 months before their wedding. It seems she needed to talk. I sat her down and sketched her for a wax-pencil portrait. I'm a good listener when I draw.

Spectacular composition, lighting, shading, colors and artwork! F/L …voted for this piece in the contest EYES ARE THE WINDOW…
Laurel Adams
Ray, I love how you sculpt Colour around Light…while my brush enjoys more scumble and dreamy surreal strays than your precisioned strategies, we both seem to enjoy and reverence the central Light in all manner of fascinations. Your brush is truly masterful.thank you for gracing this series…I eagerly await your entries/intershare for the last in this series…getting out of your comfort zone.
Ray Agius replied:
We are all masters of our created implications. The art imposes visions modified by experience and the taste for novelty. In this case the muse demanded my attention to detail.
