Reverie is a vivid, dreamlike representation of a person sitting under a large tree at night with a full moon in the sky. The branches of the tree enfold themselves to form a heart shape and an aura expresses the spiritual energy emmanating from the living thing itself. I used blues and red purples to create an introspective mood.
