Awake My Soul

Surrealists paintings were generally based on dreams. Their paintings were filled with familiar objects which were painted to look strange or mysterious. The artists hoped their odd paintings would make people look at things in a different way and change the way they felt about things. They thought that their paintings might stir up feelings in the back of peoples minds.  This is an example of my surreal composite photography.  I am creating a body of work to possibly exhibit in an art show someday.

This has to be one of the cutest things I have come across at the beach.  This kid was into it, checking out every part of the surfboard.  I could see him dreaming of the day he would be big enough to use a surfboard that was this large.  He looked like a mini surfer, attitude and all.

“There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.”
