Artist's Comments

Based on a description I found about Morpheus the greek god of dreams:

The Greek god of dreams. He lies on a ebony bed in a dim-lit cave, surrounded by poppy. He appears to humans in their dreams in the shape of a man. He is responsible for shaping dreams, or giving shape to the beings which inhabit dreams. Morpheus, known from Ovid's Metamorphoses, plays no part in Greek mythology. His name means "he who forms, or molds" (from the Greek morphe), and is mentioned as the son of Hypnos, the god of sleep. 'Morphine' is derived from his name.

Wow... it's beautiful!! I love how it's almost as if HE is dreaming, lying there, having this form generate from his very mind as he slumbers. It's a really interesting turn of the concept, the shaper of dreams asleep, dreaming.
It makes you wonder... if Morpheus does, in fact, dream... does he shape his OWN dreams? Or does he not sleep...
The background of the cave is awesome, was that one of the stock pieces? (I only ask because it's under paintings, and I didn't want to mix up with you did originally on the template of stock images :) )
You placed your elements well! The figure there, Morpheus, appearing to be lit (as some of the surroundings are as well) by the form rising from his. It's so light, ethereal... Beautiful.
Sorry this was long... I haven't commented on your work in a while, I miss it!
