What we see and what we seem are but a dream, a dream within a dream.

I first watched Picnic at Hanging Rock qutie some time ago and I remember finding it so haunting and eerie. Peter Weir's work on this film is fantastic, the film's soundtrack is entrancing and edgy, due to the sound of the pan-pipes. This film seemed really strange to me when I first watched it, and I didn't understand it at all. It is definitely a confusing film, but it is full of symbolism I feel. The mystery of the disappearance of the girls and where they could have vanished to was never resolved and leaves the viewer with many unanswered questions. Nevertheless, it is still a great film, I especially love the time period and the fact that it is Australian. If you haven't seen it, I would recommend checking it out. :)

I started and finished another illustration yesterday entitled Seashell (Lady of the Lake). The image I used as a reference for the mermaid was a screencap from a Russian version of the Little Mermaid tale, called Rusalochka.

I bought a pretty ruby coloured dress online from Freez again, it is by Lola vs Harper and it looks so pretty, I can't wait to try it on. :)

That's all for now, hope you all have a lovely day. ♥

Picnic at Hanging Rock - Gheorghe Zamfir

Bucolic

I am back home now and just relaxing in the country away from the city. It is not as hot as I would have expected here, in fact it has been quite cool in this past week! I had my birthday on the 26th and just had a lunch and then I had a baby sitting job, which went better than expected, except it was so hard to keep the kids in bed!
I really miss swimming, and now it is summer I feel the need to get on the swimmers and jump in the pool! The feeling of freedom you get when you first dive into the water and immerse yourself in it's comforting coolness, letting go of all your negative thoughts. It is a wonderful feeling and epitomises the essence of summer.
I am going to try and draw a little each day, continuously doing something creative in order to keep myself occupied and forever inspired.
That's all I have for now, so I will leave you with some things that have been inspiring me lately.
