I dream my painting and I paint my dream
Vincent Van Gogh
I wonder how many paintings came from dreams in Vincent’s Room in the Saint-Paul Asylum, Saint-Remy, France.
Sweet Moon, I thank you for your sunny beams
We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
The Tempest Act 4, scene 1. William Shakespeare
Was I still dreaming of the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich when I took this picture of the moon shining through our library window at 3:30 this morning?
The hall was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor, and the interior decorated by James Thornhill.
The wall and ceiling decorations of the hall depict the succession of English monarchs from William and Mary to George 1. The College was originally Greenwich Hospital where disabled sailors of the Royal Navy lived and were treated from 1692 1869.
The title quote is from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 5 Scene 1.

Nighttime is the Lighttime
Dear Diary…Early this morning, around 3:30 am, in response to Ben Huberman’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime, I decided to attempt my first Light Painting photography.
Subject: Sunflowers on the kitchen deck featured this week in From Seed To Sky.
Requirements:
- My Pentax Kr DSLR
- Infra red wireless shutter release (newly bought, and so worth it)
- Tripod
- Confused cat (not expected)
- Disturbed wife (also not expected)
Result…well, you can decide comparing the same sunflowers in this morning’s sunshine…
Plan: Early night after the final season opener of Boardwalk Empire.
