Watercolor: 9" x 11" Framed, rough, torn edge 140lb/sq. in. watercolor paper
Winsor & Newton studio grade watercolor paint
In Dreamer, Chris captures the ethereal threshold between cosmos and consciousness, inviting the viewer into a deeply meditative space where form dissolves into atmosphere. At the heart of the piece lies the barely perceptible silhouette of a human figure reclining on their back—an abstracted shape that emerges subtly from the saturated washes of color, like a memory surfacing from the haze of sleep.
The surrounding composition unfolds like a dreamscape: vibrant oranges and yellows on the left suggest warmth and vitality, while cool greens and violets sweep in from the right, evoking the passage into shadow and reflection. This chromatic drift is rendered with masterful control of watercolor’s unpredictable nature. Chris uses layering, granulation, and intentional bleeding to create textures that feel both organic and otherworldly—like clouds of nebula dust or the edge of a fading thought.
Stretching across the horizon line are radiant starbursts—sharp, geometric, and deliberate. These prismatic points function like guideposts in a dream, anchoring the floating composition with a quiet rhythm. They seem to hover not only above the figure, but within them—as if charting the inner constellations of imagination, memory, and spirit.
By embedding a resting figure within this cosmic field, Chris transforms what could be purely abstract into something profoundly intimate. It becomes a visual poem to surrender—of lying back and letting go, of letting the universe wash over you, inside and out. Dreamer is not just an image, but a sensation—a reminder of the liminal spaces we all drift through when waking, sleeping, or simply imagining more.
