And I reckon it's a marked improvement in time management over my previous effort. It's for a friend of mine who had the idea: black and white, water tower, paint scraped away (with knives, Bob Ross style). Those were his criteria, and this canvas, measuring 16"x20",  is what I came up with roughly ten sessions later. This one was actually fun the whole way through, which was kinda nice after spending two years on the last one. Anyway, I'm sharing this with you good folks because a few people requested to see my future efforts. Let me know if you'd like to see more.

I have to say that i prefer this to your previous work in the link. I like how moody the whole image is. I used to be alright at charcoal and pencil drawings but i was aways awful at paint. Good work! Keep on painting!

I like it. Makes me want to eat some shrooms. I think that'd would further improve my impression and appreciation of your artwork. It'd kinda look like it's made out of eels or living liquid light and darkness.

Reminds me a bit of that screaming man doing the Makaulay Culkin. Edvard Munch's famous painting...

Looks good! I have no idea how long it usually takes to make something like this, but 2 months is certainly better than 2 years.

Holy hell, that is beautiful dude! Really like the attention to light and shadow and the flow of the paint in the hills and sky. Awesome work duder!

That kinda sucks. I think your last one was better honestly.

Your painting makes me uncomfortable. A weary.

I like it.

It reminds me a bit of Stary Night by Van Gogh

I really like it though, I could see myself hanging it up somewhere in my apartment or something.

Pretty amazing work!

I would mention that it references The Starry Night by Van Gogh, or you'll endlessly have people saying "Hey that looks like Starry Night"

While I like both of them, I really like the first one. I like the colors.

Much like your previous effort it's great!

But a bit too dark for me personally. Keep it up!

Yeah I would defiently put that on my wall. Awesome job dude.

That looks awesome, nice work!

got to admit, didn't like it initially, but after looking at it, there's something about the separation, as far as i see it, in how accurately, or if not accurately, at least meticulously, the fence is painted,

and how it separates both the picture and the two large round objects which both seem to have some crazy gravitational pull over the stars - which actually to me look more like souls or ghosts flying overhead

then that is reflected in the way the ground is represented; and the more i look at it the more it looks like the sea,

and this line of the fence is like a line of connected buoys, or a net, keeping everything in order with all the craziest around; leading somewhere, away from everything thats happening

can't figure out what the cluster of rocks/trees in the background is/represents - and the monochrome thing is explained by your friends request

the looseness of it is nice, the two year one is technically very well done but i prefer this

congratulations on sticking with it and improving on the timescale,

i wanted to keep painting but i know i'd give it up, and did - to do architecture,

miss the freedom and lack of over thinking as displayed in my over-analysis of your painting

good work though, have you ever tried portraits?

I really like it. I like how the fence seems to be completely detached from the field itself almost as if it is above being wild and without direction. I could psychoanalyze the shit out of it, but I will just admire it for what it is.

Nice, I really like it

Looks really nice. I think it even looks better than your other one.

I really like the way you handled the technique. It looks great. I have to say I don't like the fence and the water tower, but the ground and sky look fantastic. I'm curious to know whether you started with a sketch, cause if you didn't, that would maybe improve the placement of things like the fence.

@mikeeegeee: Very nice. Looks like it has some extremely rich texture on it. Oil or acrylic? If that is oil it's going to take a lot longer than 2 months to dry.

I like it. It seems like its in motion too!

That's super cool, I really like it.

Reminds me of Morrowind for some reason.

Love the fence and the sky, but man the style of the hills just looks too simple. Can't say I love it because of that, but it's still great.

The more I look at it the more I like it Really like your other painting though the colors are fantastic, the water tower looks off but the flow of the moon and sky and ground and fence is pretty dope.

Man that looks awesome!

Beat me to it. Van Gogh was my first thought.

Thats really nice, I like it

@mikeeegeee: Either way man you did a great job, you should be proud.

Dude, that's awesome

Looks like we have another person who might cut their ear off! Great job on the artwork!

Let...me...buy...it...

@mikeeegeee: Very nice work. I like your color selection. There's a certain honesty in it.

Wow, that's really great. I criticized your other picture but this one looks really nice.

The only thing I'd say is that the water tower looks weird, it's not really defined enough and seems a bit flat compared to the rest of the scene. I would not know it was a water tower without you saying.

Definitely keep posting these, it's fun to look at them.

I would put that on my wall. Good job duder.

Thumbs up.

Its trippy.. But it looks really cool
