Need painting ID - girl sleeping under wave blanket

Creativme · March 12th, 2011, 10:28 AM

I found a darling picture of a girl/woman sleeping under a wave as it it were a blanket (lost the link). The website said it was a Dalí painting, but it appears that was a mistake...nothing came up when searching for Dalí's artwork. I am trying to identify the artist and/or title of the painting. It may be considered "surrealist" style, it is signed in the bottom left corner but the name is not clear enough to read. The woman is sleeping on the beach under the sea/wave blanket, with the sand indented to look like a mattress. There is a bright pink & peach sunset in the background sky and two dolphins in mid-jump in the background. I would greatly appreciate any tips as to what this painting is, what it might be depicting, who it's by, etc... I would love to order a print if I can figure out what it is. Thanks in advance!

Ocean Dreams by Jim Warren.

Here's the one with the mattress.

Jim Warren! That's the name. His paintings are mentioned here quite a lot, but I went looking for Michael Whelan instead. Similar name, he is also a fantasy art painter, but his work is not that similar.
