I loved seeing your father´s work and love seeing the way it inspired your first works and how you have evolved from there. Wonderful post!
Thank you @romanie!
Marvelous.....and refreshingly deep. Thank you for sharing. Upvoted & Resteemed :)
Makes me want to go there and check it out... climb into the small places.. but it also scares me a great deal, as i mentioned before.
This is one of the best i have seen from you Peter! The colors are .. lock of a better word: GREAT !
Thank you @agneslaczo! Glad to hear you like it! :-)
You have no taste for art lady. Shame on you for flagging my posts when all I am doing is promoting my art.
love them all.. cool to see what your father made!!
Thanks @erikbolding! You can see his other work here: https://www.facebook.com/jaroslav.gric/
checked it out... you are both the type of paintstaking long works :-)
Awesome piece! I love to see your use of a different color palate on this one, a little more "living nature" than the usual. The detail images on this post are fantastic as well, bringing to light things I didn't see on the overall photo. Marvelous details! I also see that Death Star type object hiding in the skyline. ☺️ "That's no moon..."
Once more, I must say "bravo!"
Thank you @aksounder! :-)
I love that you had your father's work to inspire you. I had an Aunt who painted who inspired me and my Grandmother took up painting in her 80's and lived into her 100s. She also greatly inspired me.
I love the palette and the Hieronymus Bosch feel to it. Well done.
Thank you @donnadavisart!
goly that's so beautiful!
love the details
no one can think what it hides looking from afar.
Thanks @varunpaherwar!
That is crazy good, you are a true master painter I can believe this was your first painting you did there :0
Well, It took me quite some time to finish it...
I can believe that, please tell me you still own it and haven't sold it off. a piece like that you should keep for as long as possible.
It's in my parents' place, not for sale!
That's good because those painting are memories.
I'm not sure I can add anything more to what the previous people have said, love your work. @gric can't wait to see more of your work.
Thanks a lot @artkapture!
i've never been not amazed by your works and creativity and attention to details * __ *
the bodies and strangeness in the zoomed in details are so surreal and full with their own stories * __ *
upvotes and resteems
Thanks @veryspider!
