The level of detail is such that I found you could dwell on any corner of the painting and just sort of stay there - so much to offer image-wise. Could admire the light streaks, the pool of water (really striking shot of blue in the entire thing), the spires, the town below...just so much to look at and admire without feeling busy at all. Glad so many people posted pictures from the show, will add to that pile but anybody who can see this in person, do so.

Choe bought Hugs too and that one was even more massive and densely detailed.

You tend to feel drawn in and engulfed by his big pieces when you are standing in front of them. I love it

Damn straight. :pint:

It has been mentioned numerous, numerous, NUMEROUS times to him over the course of the night that it needs to be a print (I wasn't the only one but will admit to being the most annoying). Here's hoping it sticks in his mind when he recovers from the draining weekend.

Many regrets on everything I've bought up until now and/or not having a better job to afford this.

This painting made me rethink my life. :lol:
