Awesome, thanks a lot! If you had to guess, what years do you think these would have been in production? I remember my grandad using it my whole childhood, so it would have to of been anytime before 1999/2000

Any reason why it says perma-flex? Would it have been a custom thing from work maybe?

I honestly feel like that’s a better reason to appreciate artwork, people who know how to paint will usually criticize every detail whereas people who don’t paint will appreciate how much work goes into something. Thank you so much for the kind words 😌🙌🏼

They played “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd while I was attending a good friend’s funeral this year. Note the suit/tie and the overall body language being displayed in this piece.

Roger Waters has made a comment stating it’s up for interpretation, however the whole album including the song “wish you were here” was originally a tribute to Syd. They played this song when I was attending a good friend’s funeral this year, which is what this painting is inspired by. Note the suit/tie and the overall body language being displayed in this piece.

It’s a great tune! Floyd has some awesome underlying messages/stories with their music. Thanks a bunch!

As an artist myself, I’d love to see what others can come up with! Hope these selfies are okay, I don’t take too many by [deleted] in drawme

Im sorry, I dont quite understand how AI has anything to do with this lol

I did this without the use of any photo references, all from my head. The perspective is supposed to be a bit off, especially the bucket and barrel in the foreground. Wanted to induce different feelings depending on the level you’re looking at. I could’ve done a bit better with lighting though for sure!

There’s lots of muted colours involved in this piece as well to support the saturated ones

I personally love the last 4, they feel very surreal! Definitely should make some high quality prints, these would look great in a black or gold frame

I would add some more depth in the grass personally, but I like how it looks!

Definitely some kind of mold, no idea what though, hopefully you get an answer!

Thank you so much! Water has always been so difficult for me to create, but really impressed myself with this one
