The category for this month's Get Dusty is Portrait/Figure, the challenge is painting a person dreaming or sleeping. It can be a full or half figure or a portrait. What we do not want, is the depiction of a dream. That would be a separate challenge and an interesting theme for a future Get Dusty. The competition runs until February 25, every member may enter two paintings.

"I tend to choose a subject because of the drama of light on it or within it. Whatever the subject matter may be, the light is what interests me. Light has always fascinated me. A landscape transformed by the sunrise, or light reflected on water, inspire me to paint. In my work I want to point to God the creator, and for people to stop and wonder at the beauty all around us.
