This painting was done with acrylic paint on canvasboard.
I also scanned the painting into photoshop and finished it there.

How often do you guys dream of being chased?
For me it's at least twice a week.Sometimes I'm being chased by zombies,sometimes it's people,sometimes i don't know who is chasing me. It's just a dark shadowy figure or just a force of anxiety I need to escape from.According to dreammoods.com I could mean that I'm running away from an unpleasent situation or emotion.Or an aspect of myself I just don't want to deal with.As fo zombies in my dreams,I have had dreams of zombies since early childhood.When I was really young I used to dream of mummies waking from their tomb to chase me.Google suggests I feel stressed and overwhelmed by things outside of my control.
I've read that a good way to minimize these dreams is to stop running and face my attacker. I tried this once,it was a man with a knife and he stabbed me with it.I could of sworn I felt pain,but it was probably just me expecting to feel pain so I convinced myself I did.
Although I still have these dreams often,they have taken a slighty different turn from time to time.
I blame it on the rise of zombies tv shows,games and movies in the media.
When I do dream of being chased by zombies it sometimes feels like a game.
The zombies are not so much of a threat.
In any case this is not all the time.Most of my chase dreams are still very scary.
So in addition to facing my attacker I have decided to get the images out of my head and onto canvas.
I will create a series of paintings based on my recurring nightmare in the hopes it will cleanse my mind of the dreams.
Here is progress shot of the first painting in the series
