Weekly Quick Collage: Elephant's Dream

I have no idea what elephants dream about, but it probably isn't this!  Still, I had lots of fun making this crazy, whimsical piece. I hope you enjoy it!

Elephant's Dream

collage, 6 x 7.5 inches

“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?”
                                                                                                                      ~ John Lennon



“People think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes.”
                                                                                                                        ~ Neil Gaiman



 “I dream my painting and I paint my dream.”
                                                                                                                         ~ Vincent Van Gogh

“And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.”

~ Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

For me, time is the greatest mystery of all. The fact is that we're dreaming all the time. That's what really gets me. We have a fathomless lake of unconsciousness just beneath our skulls.

~ Anthony Hopkins
