Artist's Comments

This is a painting for school, it's the biggest I've ever done (about 1 meter wide I guess).
It's not that dark and a bit more grayish in reality. I like how it turned out since I really thought I'd screw the whole thing up while painting it. However, it was much fun and I enjoyed trying something different from what I usually do.
I'm curious about which grade I'll get for it.

I was inspired by a really great picture but I sadly don't know the painters name or where I found it.

Acrylics on some kind of chipboard or something like that + 7 hours

Float with all that is reflected in oceans of cosmos, presented breathtakingly in Stadt by ~iphigen. The splendour and energy of any city could not be more lavishly represented, where lights gleaming from dark silhouetted towers battle for brilliance with the blanket of glittering stars overhead.

dreamy and atmospheric
I like how the sky is reflected
and dripping off the canvas
brings the whole scene alive
in a subtle and yet dramatic way :love:

i can't believe how impressive this is. well, i suppose i can, since you're the one who painted it. the dripping paint to signify water is a clever touch, and i love how you've reduced a cityscape to its two basic elements: harsh, abstract shapes and hundreds of lights. the painting is beautiful, unique and captures modern civilisation as a whole. one of your best.

Ich finds toll, aber die Olle hat bestimmt ihre Wechseljahre und es schmeckt ihr zu wenig nach Erdbeere und deshalb gefällt es ihr nicht...
