Pete's paintings thread!

[Pete for President]

Let me buy these from you, please.

I always love your work, Pete. You're fantastic. Rantz and I both agree that we'd put the second painting on our walls.

woah! the control you have over the colors and how vibrant you make them look is just.....leaves me mouth-hanging :O

Wow awesome! I love the colours. Where did you get your inspiration? Seriously they are great.

Thank you all for the kind words!

As for inspiration, I always like landscapes that are not fouled/exploited/controlled by the hands of people, so wilderness is usually key. I also like to imagine how nature would 'correct our mistakes' should mankind wipe itself out. As for color palettes and technique I've been watching/analyzing quite a few studio Ghibli animated films (Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke are favorites because of their themes). The watercolored background art is absolutely stunning and I learn a lot about lighting and atmosphere just by taking a good look at them.

More pieces soon
