Final.
First drafts.
Various sketches and color ideas
Closer to the final - choosing the time of day.
The jellyfish were an interesting idea, but eventually would've been too creepy.
Commission artwork done for a client over a few weeks, based in Glasgow (Scotland). The process was experimental, allowing the client to choose between various ideas and working together to achieve the final result.
The original idea came from a discussion between me and the client about letting go of emotions. The feeling state ascribed to that process is akin to floating in water and trusting that the waves will carry you.
I am a huge fan of psychology and spirituality, especially Dr.D.Hawkins' work with the same name as this artwork, so in a way this is also my tribute to his work which has changed my life on more than one occasion.
