Here is one response to what teeth dreams symbolize:

Dreams that your teeth are falling out are the most common dreams we here at Dream Moods receive. Common dream scenarios include having your teeth crumbling in your hands or your teeth falling out one by one with just a light tap.�Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but often leaves the dreamer with a lasting image of the dream. So what does it mean?

One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Sadly, we live in a world where good looks are valued highly and your teeth play an important role in conveying that image. Teeth are used in the game of flirtations, whether it be a dazzling and gleaming smile or affectionate necking. These dreams may stem from a fear of your sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Teeth are an important feature of our attractiveness and presentation to others. Everybody worries about how they appear to others. Caring about our appearance is natural and healthy.�

Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.�

Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth represent power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.

Here is the work that came out of this particular event....

I am working on a show that will be at Tumbleweed, the reception is April 12th, 2008. I'll be in the studio working furiously until then.

I do realize that there are some paintings on the site that have been sold that aren't marked that way yet. Give me a few days.

Thanks!

The Cuban interest comes from a fabulous book of photographs I purchased at Savannah James. It's an incredible book.

Expect the website to be updated by the end of the week.

This is always the exciting part. :)

The Art Reception and the Preview for Open Studios is this Friday, September 28th, from 7pm - 9pm

The Open Studios (for me) is the first weekend only - October 6th & 7th from 10am - 5pm. It's held here at my house.

ALSO coming up, is my solo show at The Black Crow. That series goes up on October 17th. The show comes down January 17th. As far as I know it's a three month show. If it is shorter, I'll post it.

Anyhow. I'm excited, once again...but differently with my new art. It's taking different forms and functions.

You''ll see.

I guess that sometimes, when times seem weary, the best remedy is to establish an alter ego of sorts. A happy, sparkling, romantic self that sees whimsy and smells plumeria-scented winds.

I'm happy to paint within the lines for now. I love the imagery and the places those images take me. They are sweet, they make me grin to look at them, and I am so enjoying painting them.

All my new work will be located @ Savannah James and will accompany me to the meet and greet that takes place on September 1st from 12p - 4pm.

Hope to see you there!
