I was hoping to complete this piece before leaving to run my yearly workshop (The Fantastic Workshop) in Nashville. What got in the way was the usual distractions. Shipping, life, etc. The precious few days of work that I had booked to finalize this were interrupted to celebrate the birthday of an uncle and spend a day in the city with my kids.

With the warm company of family and the cold comfort of bulk shipping orders filling the void in my life, I can't feel too bad about being behind, but I still wish I was posting a final.

Soon. Many of my favorite parts are still yet to come together, so the concept of procrastincation is far from my mind. I love painting details with my little round brush, so as soon as life gives me a chance to return to this, I'll get it done.

Until then, feel free to see the high res version on the Dropbox. The links are attached to the reward posts for Remiel.

Best,

-Pete

Man, I really want to like this, but can't. The orange color is off putting. The composition of the twins is great. I also like the depth provided by the various shades of blue and purple. This may just be a case of 'to each his own', but know you encourage sharing our thoughts.

i just saw the print and feel the need to follow up. The digital version continues to have a intensely bright and dominating orange which is offputting to me. (At least on my monitor). The print is a stark contrast. The organge background is rich and textured with a complexity that's almost mesmerizing. I've never seen such a difference between digital and print medium for Pete's work before. While still not my favorite piece, I sat and stared at it for a couple of minutes taking it all in. Wanted to share for anyone considering getting a print.

Hey Jim, glad to hear the thoughts, both positive and negative. This piece hasn't been really popular, so it's especially interesting to hear your thoughts on the contrast between the digital and physical releases. When I'm painting these days, I'm painting for the print and the jpg is really just a byproduct. In my mind, I still see all the detail that I've slowly worked into the supporting elements, so I never really considered how little of it shows through to the audience at large. I'll be bringing the prints with me to shows next year and letting people see this one in person. Hopefully, people will see the vision for it more clearly there.
