Melancholic Dream 

This is my Melancholic Dream.
At first, I just thought I should apologize because lately I spend a lot of time making portraits in nature, although I think I should do what makes me happy, no matter theme, or anything else.
A sweet dream of rest, with eyes closed; yes... and I say "closed" because we can also dream with our eyes wide open. Referring to a true relaxing moment of rest, hugging a tree, a dead tree. No noise, no hurry, in nature, in solitude.
So, this way I've chosen I should stay ... how my melancholic dream is.
Sometimes it's better to close our eyes and see nothing.
I've worked this portrait hearing a piano recording, while I was finishing every detail as I wanted them to be, and again and again I've heard this music and finally I felt it seemed to have been composed truly for this dream.
Each part is different, there are faster passages full of melancholy and slow sad ones. I can not enjoy the work without hearing it, that's why I'm going to accompany it with the audio, I think it's worth doing this way.
The composer is fantastic, Icham Chaidi (http://www.hichamcompositeur.eu/)
When I finished, I asked my son to look at and meanwhile the background music sounded, he told me spellbound: "It is nice ... but ... looks like someone has died."
