Paradise is just a Dream

I made this painting after inspiration from the latest contest of the sweet My Paradise Contest eledhwen-stock.deviantart.com/… .

At the beginning, I liked the title but I was quite uncertain about the best concept of paradise for me.
I'm not a religious person and I don't connect with an image of Paradise related to something transcendental and divine.
And so, I was thinking, what should be the closest to a Paradise to me... a sea of chocolate, or a magic fairy forest?
But you should know, a mother of two little children -who often wake up at night for playing- simply demands some Sleep: pure, undisturbed, peaceful sleep. And, why not together with my old cat? (who lives right now with my grandma since many years, far away)

For this painting, the model was referred from this beautiful picture: eledhwen-stock.deviantart.com/…

Reference for the cat is a pic of my cat Ginevra, taken by my cousin Barbara Schmenner : some years ago. Go to visit her page and show her some love, she's an amazing photographer!

All painted in Photoshop from scratch as usual.

Hope you enjoy!
