No doubt this image envokes a tremendous amount of emotion. It would be the perfect Memorial Day image for the front page or a poster as Doc said. Art you are a true perfectionist and it shows in every piece you give us. You have a style all your own and I love it. Other images have created a mood within the environment but this one really brings on a centimental moment. Well done, art thru images is a beautiful thing.

Luke, thank you very much for this wonderful compliment and I am feeling honored that you vote for a Memorial Day image. I really like this idea, it would be in my intention.

If you like you may download a medium sized poster here

Had to take a break  from Star Wars and all the digital stuff I've done over the past few months and decided to switch to another favorite movie and back to my beloved traditional ways. Oh I should do much more or these...

So this is NOT about Star Wars and digital composites, but I would like to share it with you guys anyway ;)

For I had recently watched Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"  together with my kids it was easy to be inspired by the fantastic landscapes seen in the movie and so I took some screenshots and photos of mountainscapes for reference and re-invented this scene, showing the fellowship on their fateful journey.

Acylics and Oil pastels on linen paper, 40x50 cm, done alla prima in about 3.5 hours at Holde Woessners art class on the 13th November.

Art, I love it. Like you, i feel passion for the scenery shown in those movies and having read the books, appreciate the translation that Mr. Jackson gave us. I never appreciated the changes to the storyline but the spectacular imagery and attention to detail makes up for it.

I love the soft tones of the stroke on this piece coupled with the harsh lines and shapes of the rocky landscape and the ruins.

Makes me want to paint.

Brilliant Art! I also love the landscapes and the moods they evoke in this film. Very well done and the style translates the harshness of the environment. I love it!

Art, you really are bringing us some culture, your landscape has an ebstract feel to it, making it look very contemporary. It's a style I really appreciate.

Thanks so much for sharing such beautiful work.

@all:
thank you so much, my friends, for all your wonderful comments... they really mean a lot to me and put a smile on my face :)

I can tell you that this painting style is coming right from my artists soul, really IS me and means more to me than the digital stuff. Don't get me wrong, its great fun to do this composites and stuff, but my love goes for the traditional and more abstract ways, being more an interpretation of reality than a copy ...
and I really want to focus more on this in the future.

hey, you know what? you are absolutly right....  just thought about what landscapes out of Star Wars could serve as inspiration for similar paintings... so this is of course idea #1.  Thanks for mentioning it!!!

Any further suggestions?
