Excellent work, first class! Right up there with any famous artist.

I looked up Kenton's work and I can see a lot of Hopper's influence in there. His stuff reminds me a lot of the fabulous travel posters of the 1930's. That kind of impressionist style was very popular.

Maxfield Parrish was another who was famous for that type of work. He did a lot of magazine covers as well as individual art pieces, Daybreak being one of his most famous. His works were more classical than impressionist, but he was an earlier painter, around the turn of the century.

More great art to admire, thank you! I'm a sucker for a British Railways poster, they are just so evocative and stylish.

Fantastic, you are very talented :) can't wait to see a Magma Red one......
I'm looking forward to Magma and the comments I've read on here recently suggest it will be stunning. Thank you for the encouragement 👊

Another vote for Seneca next :cool: Possibly a tricky one as the colour seems to vary so much depending on lighting?
I have every confidence that @eclat2emira can pull it off. On the difficulty scale, DV would have been a 10, with Seneca probably an 8, and he totally nailed Dark Verdant!

The key with Seneca will be to decide which light condition it is in and stick to it. This will be based on the sunlight setting in the Lotus config as this is what I've used for the others and is how each colour is seen at its best, which is always the aim (rarely does anyone sit for a portrait looking sub-par!)

I had another look at the colours on the configurator last week after visiting the factory and seeing several colours outside on a sunny day, and wasn't too convinced on the accuracy of the sunlight renderings. They all seem a bit too light to me, Magma and Seneca in particular. Then again, perhaps they based the configurator on California sun rather than UK sun :)

That is my sense too. The "daylight" option seems to be most realistic to me.

That Seneca is a shape-shifting scarlet pimpernel of a colour!

Indeed! Even after seeing it at the factory and looking at loads of Seneca photos I'm still not sure what the colour will be like when it is sitting on my drive.

LOL Scarlet Pimpernel... I haven't read that in ages. I wonder how many Americans even know who that is? Such a difference between the TV/media culture of today versus a culture that reads classic literature. I will always though, think of the Warner Bros cartoon (I think it was Sylvester pussycat) who in one scene announces himself as the Scarlet Pumpernickel.

Man.... I haven't thought of that name in decades.

They seek him here, they seek him there!

Yes, Sylvester was indeed the Scarlet Pumpernickel. (or was he........!)
