🎨 Something With Ears - original painting

in #artzone6 years ago

What we call imagination is actually the universal library of what's real. You couldn’t imagine it if it weren’t real somewhere, sometime.

one of my favourites!

Terence Mckenna is right - yes, it is real - the Infinite Monkeys wrote a lengthy story about it:
The Ancient Alien Monument of the Easter Bunny - the Ancestor-God of Television Antennas!

This is marvelous.
Almost surely will never be the same again.

you are wonderful Peter :)

Thank you Adele! :-)

Really interesting piece. How this idea came to life?

It was a variation of a similar piece I painted two years before this one:

oh wow, i might like this one even better

great colors in the sky....nice one Peter!

Thank you Dennis!

I like that quote :)

Do your paintings have a background story?
I mean, I can imagine this as an abandoned watchtower or some kind of antenna for communications.
It can also be what is left of a project that was intended to be a statue.
With our imagination it can be whatever we want it to be.
But, whatever it is, I love it.

Thanky ou @kennitgabriel!
No, I don't usually have any background stories to my paintings. You are invited to find your own stories in them! :-)

Firstly, I LOVE the title. I love making up titles for work and this one is wonderful. I could see this as an amazing cover of a scifi/fantasy novel!

It's like the Easter bunny meets the Wicker Man. :)

Thanks Donna! :-)

Love this something...wonderful piece of art!
