Pete's paintings thread!

Oh, Icewind Dale? With Fynn, a very good thing, trust me.

And I gotta be honest, I did think it was a couch at first glance, until I saw the white keys and then cottoned on to the fact that it was a piano.

Yeah, I thought it was a couch at first too! Then I thought "why would there be a couch there?" I looked closer and realised it's clearly a piano. Then I thought "why would there be a piano there?". Then I thought "I don't even know where 'there' is so why not?"

Once again, I find myself deep in thought when looking at your paintings, Pete. Excellent work!

Pete's paintings evoke hard, deep questions about the world around us, like: "is that a couch?" and "why is there a piano in the forest?" and "If someone plays the piano when no-one is listening, does the piano even exists?"

Thanks for the kind words guys, glad it's evoking thoughts one way or another :p

I've been feeling very productive lately, here's another piece!

It's very haunting, again! Is that like a stone lantern in the centre image? I like it, gives it a sense of opposition against the imposing gloom.

Thanks! It's a lantern indeed ;D despite the gloom I tried to make it lively nonetheless with all kinds of plants and shrooms growing on it. Here's a zoomed in bit; Attachment 70510

I've revised the piano piece to be much lighter, and I added lots more details in the leaves, lay of the land and some other stuff. Way more satisfied with this version compared to the old one : )

I much prefer the lighter tone! Also, very glad you left the sofa in ;)

The lighting and colour on the lantern picture are fantastic :D
