This 21st canvas started out with a tree. Have I mentioned yet that I love red? Because I do.
That's where the canvas stood at 3am when I went to bed. As I nestled into my pillow, I had this last thought, "Newton and a flying apple!" By some miracle, I still remembered that idea when I woke up, so after making some changes to the tree, I painted in a slumbering Newton.
While I waited for Newton to dry, I worked on the trunk. I am really, really proud of the work I did on the trunk. The writing in the upper left corner is from the original Latin publication of Newton's first two laws.
Finally, I wanted to add some more diffuse white and also flesh out the dreamscape.
And there's the flying apple!
