The prompt this week for Illustration Friday is 'Burning'.
“To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.”
~ Mother Teresa
'Burning' had me stumped at first, so hopefully this quote and its wonderful metaphor works !?
See if you can find my sneaky map of Australia and the island of Tasmania.
(acrylic and mixed media on canvas)
P.S Have a wonderful week and thank you for your thoughts and comments

they burn brightly!
looove to you! xo
This is so beautiful - almost rocks you to sleep just by letting yourself dream into it. Lovely :)
I absolutely love this.
so magical
Excellent illustration!
The map is on the pillow right?
My first thought was that the shape of the boat, the girls head and the bubbles in the water followed the contours of Australia as well... maybe?
Loch Ness monster too?
Lovely image-- I wonder, if you sleep on a pillow with a map, will your dreams take you there? If so I may take up pillow embroidery!
wonderful submission. Great color & works well with prompt
I really like the idea and I wish i have a bed like that. Haha!
I'm loving the idea of a travelling dream pillow !
