Fragments on a Path once Dreamt

I think it's awesome Eril, so interesting and wonderful.

Magical. Little bits of genius in here and great touches of humour like the octopus. I love it.

Quite brilliant. I love the concept and the execution.

Fantastically weird, beautifully done Eril. Salvadore Dali would have loved it. Love the chimps under the brolly.

Brilliant Eril!

Absolutely brilliant Eril. I could look at your painting for hours, not only looking for hidden treasures but also the meaning behind the individual stories.

Brilliantly bonkers. Love it!!

Utterly brilliant.👌

Amazing 🥰

A great magical, surrealist piece. Love it!

thank you everyone! yes Fiona, many little stories and snippets. There's bit of a self portrait in there (well half a face), a bit of Dali, dutch still-lifes, a shout out to Magritte with the bowler hat silhouette on right side. A room of tales and memories with an old projector shining out, a shadow of a horned creature unseen up the stairs - the life preserver to save us. There's life's baggage there, while 2 simple monkey's look down on us all with the key. A good mate in our 20's stuck a big no.6 on his roof like a racing car for a laugh and yes - the most expensive painting ever sold in Salvator Mundi there, but a bit of irreverence as Christ holds the golden party balloon. (Not the Mona Lisa as a few have said to me :). And that's before we even get to the cunning fox on the rhino! Lot's of little bits and blurry metaphors to spark the imagination I reckon

Absolutely brilliant work, Eril, every inch a delight to investigate and contemplate.

There's certainly much to fascinate here, and all beautifully painted. I like the way the sea blends into the tablecloth, and I also like the two monkeys with the brolly, and I've spent ages looking at it all!

Amazing painting and detail, I hope you are professional. If not why not? Outstanding

ah the old 'professional' question haha. thank you mate! :) But yes - what does professional mean? Truth is, like many of us here, we paint for ourselves first. Because we enjoy it, or it does something good for us etc. But I have for the last few years tried to sell what I output. I'm in a couple of small galleries down in Sussex and pop out some social media posts and do prints etc. However there's not a lot of spare £ floating around right now and many of my originals are waiting for new homes hehe. Like many artists I work other job/s right now to pay the bills. So I guess 'professional' in thought and aim, not so much in practice if my bank account is any guide haha.
