The Dreaming Scribe

The Dreaming Scribe presents the Egyptian deity Thoth in layered hues of blue, emerging within a lush field of green leaves, grasses and a singular purple bloom. Painted on a large square canvas, the composition unfolds with a dreamlike, atmospheric quality, allowing figure and environment to merge.
Through loose, expressive brushwork and rich chromatic contrasts, Michael O’Neill explores themes of memory, language and the subconscious, creating a still life that feels both symbolic and immersive.
