Hello there! I've painted something new, but I won't type any conceptual description about it. I'll leave the interpretation to you. This is a mix of acrylics, markers, pen and chalk pastels:

Very nice. Is that a water bed ?
Interesting. Contains a lot of unexplained symbolism.
Would love to read some explanation of the items portrayed.
What is the meaning of the item tied to the bed post?
The man is asleep but the woman is watchful. Does that have any particular message or meaning?
What is the mysterious doorway? Where does it lead and what is its significance?
Is the woman wearing traditional Muslim dress/headdress? If so, is there particular significance in that?
Are the swimmers the children of the couple in the foreground? Does the fact that the man is asleep and the woman is watchful indicate a particular attitude to the care of children?
So many unanswered questions about this picture.
And finally - why does the bed appear to be hovering over the water? Is it an indication that the watchful woman wishes the sleeping man would sink or float away?
I like the colours and the Gauguinesque style of the man. You can probably guess all the rest of my thoughts. Keep it up.
Hereto... Are you in the painting?

Atheist/ Thanks for your answer. I was in the previous two paintings but never mentioned it. I was the naked woman with her back to the audience in the first painting I shared on this platform and I was also the woman in the middle of the second painting laying down on the bed with a skirt and reading a book. In this painting I never thought of whom to paint but the woman surprisingly turned out to look like me to some extent.

Of course, now I remember that it wasn't the first painting I shared here. It must've been the third one. The painting with the man lying down on a bed with a bowl of fruits beside him.
Ah, now I prefer that to the last one. I like the balance and the colour mix, also for some reason, the 'empty' bottom left doesn't feel 'wrong'.

The 'sleeping' figure seems to be a bit of a recurrent theme - or am I wrong? It definitely had echoes for me. Very intrigued with the arched entrance to ..... where and what?
Hereto.......
Do you know the work of Robert Crumb?

Atheist/ No, I've just looked him up. His works are oddly attractive.
