Berceuse 1st

Oil (contains genuine Hematite and Turquoise), inks, Swarovski crystals on hand made cotton paper over linen 

Berceuse is French for Lullaby. I like to imagine that we all have an official lullaby (or two) holding safe space for us while watching over us as we sleep. These ethereal beings live in the liminal spaces between our dreams. Added synchronicity: Someone told me that a berceuse is usually in 6/8 time and these paintings all measure eight by six inches. I wish I could tell you that I did this on purpose. All I know is that when I was looking at the first two that I painted, I asked them to tell me what they were.
