SF&F Picture 45 out of 45 by Lisa Ann (Jae) Andresen.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: What Dreams May Come

Title comes from Hamlet, not the Robin Williams movie. I was depressed when I painted this, but after returning to an old theme (see Illian Sunset), I was elated to have finally completed this painting to my satisfaction. Notice the presence of the moon.

Also, Wyvern's Library writer Alex R. Kahler recently wrote this beautiful poem to accompany my painting. Everyone should check it out. Thanks, Alex!

9 Nov 2003	Joseph M. Fontano	Loading... This is a beautyfull picture. The colors, the moon the water it all goes together perfectly.
24 Dec 2003	Lee Elizabeth Pike	Loading... This is a gorgeous, tranquil scene, I could stare at it for hours...
20 Jan 2004	Anya ´broom rider´ Kholodova	Loading... All of your artworks are great, I like all of them so much. Your Art Nouveau pictures are beautiful, your fairy-tale illustration style is also great... but the "dragons upon a watercolor landscape" series of pictures is really very special. I like all of them, the ones which bring an unexpected element of fantasy in a very realistic landscape and the ones like this, where the dragons look "at home". This picture is my favorite of the series at the moment. Tranquility... Serenity...
27 Feb 2004	Tahisku	Loading... Apsalutly beautiful! The use of colour is amazing, the reds and pinks fading into the blue and navy. Its so mystical i love the way you've used siluettes. Well done!!!!!!
19 Mar 2004	Anonymous	Loading... You've obviously seen the movie what dreams may come...however if I'm totally wrong and you haven't, then you should see it. The art in that movie is really incredible and this sort of resembles it. Nice Work! Lisa Ann (Jae) Andresen replies: "The title comes from Shakespeare's "Hamlet". I've since seen the movie "What Dreams May Come" (or parts of it), and I agree that it's visually stunning."
28 Dec 2005	Otter	Loading... It is very nice, but you committed one of my pet peeves: One can never see a star through the dark part of the moon. Lisa Ann (Jae) Andresen replies: "Yet it's an old stylistic element prevelent in many highly-regarded fantasy pieces, and this image was never intended to be fully realistic."
12 Jan 2006	Huskyfrompluto	Loading... Absolutely stunning!! I love the way each dragon seems to be surrounded by its own colour (purple, red, pink). Was that intentional, or just something that came together with the colouring? P.S. Sunset is my favourite time of day, and I love fantasy books/artwork, so this sure hit the nail on the head for me!
20 Nov 2007	Stephanie S. K. Marbach	Loading... Beautiful colours!!!
27 Jan 2008	Naomilynn	Loading... Doesn’t depression do wonders for art? I have been pretty depressed lately and some of my best stuff has come out now. I loves it. Your painting is very serene and beautiful. I loves it.
