The references I used for this painting:
My father found this stone on the island Brac in Kroatia. Many of my stone paintings were painted after this beautiful piece.
A photo of a jet engine I took once in the Technical Museum in Vienna.

I love this one!
agree - it is a beauty!
One of the many things that i love about your work is... the detail, you know that already. I've said that before. The way that you render the shit out of everything till it's perfect, not overdone. Just perfect. I can't see a fragment that you did not put attention into. The touch to it... I mean every artist knows his pieces like he knows himself and we can point out what needs more work. But for the eye of the viewer, Insanely great.
You, by the way, are the man that motivated me to get into photography.
Thank you Nikolay for your kind words!
There is some good stuff to be found at the Technische Museum - maybe check out the Heeresgeschichtliche also.
Yes there is, but unfortunately they've put many of the interesting things in the vault.
I like railroad related stuff - obviously, since I worked many years as a mechanic for the Canadian Pacific, but it also makes me feel old: there are procedures and equipment I was trained on that you now only find in museums, lol
Wonderful painting! It says so much!
Thank you Kathrina!
One of the comments here made me think about this SF story by Roger Zelazny, Jack of Shadows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_of_Shadows
I read it when it came out, there are many interesting ideas for visual rendering in this story. What is not explained well enough in the Wiki is that the denizen of the dark side believe in mechanical things as their supernatural (i.e. a great machine that keeps the world in balance, and needs to be maintained) , opposite the light side where the belief system is based on spiritual powers.
Jack of Shadows
Jack of Shadows is a science fantasy novel by American author Roger Zelazny. According to him, the name of the book (but not the titular character) was an homage to Jack Vance. In his introduction to the novel he mentioned that he tried to capture some of the exotic landscapes that are frequent in Vance's work. Zelazny wrote it in first draft, with no rewrites.
Schöne Kombination von Natur und Technik. Angenehme Farben.
Danke Tom!
I like your painting, Peter. Very unusual. It seems like a stone formed after the motor, and hence the motor is the remnant of some very ancient civilization.
Sorry my English
Thanks @feelisgood!
This is gorgeous, and ever so artistically dark! I love it!
Thank you!
It is creativity in itself
Thanks!
