Stacked

7″ x 10″ mixed media collage on paper

I had done the watercolor painting on paper previously, I loved the flowy, moody colors, but it needed something else. When I spotted the image in a magazine, the colors were perfect, I had to incorporate it into the painting.

As much as I appreciate architecture, buildings, and construction, I’m also terrified of tall buildings. I have reoccurring nightmares about being in a highrise during an earthquake and feeling the swaying, the tipping over, and I wake up just before the whole building crashes to the ground.

Ugh. I’m not trying to be a downer right before Christmas, but maybe that’s part of the reason why these nightmares pop up, too much stress and pressure, everything gets “stacked” up and seems overwhelming. That’s what I’m going with!

I hope you are enjoying the season and not letting any extra stress get you down! Stay creative and slow down, enjoy all of the moments, and be grateful! 🥰🙏❄🎄🕯

    Don’t sweat it Tiffany, only about 10,000 people die in earthquakes each year with 80 percent along the rim of the Pacific Ocean 😬

    Well if it’s any consolation, Tiffany, your painting has a wonderful merged-with-nature feel with the architecture ❤️ But yeah, that swaying tumbling down thing’s not something we want, lol! Stay safe, happy holidays! 😊
