Thank you Pavlina, it’s like my live’s work. I’ve been drawing these, ehr, flowers for years. Don’t have many usable scans though.

Meiko Janke, 7 months ago

Peter Zentjens in reply to Meiko Janke’s comment, 7 months ago

Thanks Meiko, this really means a lot as The Fool is getting the least attention in my portfolio here. Cheers!

Peter “Dali”? I’m so impressed on the creativity of this site’s member’s. Unreal, Surreal.. Like being in the world’s biggest art class! Thanks for the strokes! Aloha, CT

Peter Zentjens in reply to Clark Takashima’s comment, 6 months ago

That’s a huge compliment Clark, thank you so much.
Specially for one of my works that’s not getting much attention. This really means a lot to me.

Oh this is just gorgeous. Is it a daisy? This would make sense seeing as the word “daisy” means “the day’s eye”. Well done.

Peter Zentjens in reply to Paul Compton’s comment, 6 months ago

I’m totally depressed now. I’ve painted a white rose and you think it’s a daisy. :(
Oh, well, it’s hard to let it look like a rose with a big heart in the middle, but I need some room for those eyes. ;)
So, no, the flower was based on a white rose but actually in the painting it’s not supposed to look like anything real anymore.
Anyway, I’m having you on and I love your comment, it’s fabulous that it sparked you imagination. Cheers.

Sheer brilliance Peter – wonderful watercolour painting….I love it!

Peter Zentjens in reply to Suzanne German’s comment, 6 months ago

Thanks again Suzanne, I really need to fix my hardware probs while waiting for my new computer so that I can upload more of my paintings.

The fool’s eyeball, as the flower centre, and the earth as a bird’s egg, are both humorous and weird.

And a fried egg sun!!

Superb style and composition, Peter – and in my favourite medium.
A sure fave, to make me smile.

Peter Zentjens, 6 months ago

A fried egg sun? I never looked at it that way!
Thank you so much for the compliments and appreciation of both my style and this work.

BLYTHART, 6 months ago

This is very beautiful in a surrealist sense … I’d love to see more of these fantasy flowers … are there any displayed elsewhere, or maybe you will upload more onto Redbubble. I shall put you on my watchlist and wait patiently to see what you do next.

Peter Zentjens in reply to BLYTHART’s comment, 6 months ago

Hi Blythart, thank you very much for your comment and for putting me on your watchlist. These fantasy flowers are something I’ve been drawing the better part of my life. Yet there are only 8 paintings in existence if I’m counting correctly. They will all appear here, eventually, but a few of them are framed and those will take a while before I get to scanning them. So, if you can’t wait, check out my website zgallery-art.com and look for “the bedroom collection”. Cheers.

BLYTHART, 6 months ago

Peter .. I have just seen your bedroom collection and would suggest others may also like to take a look ... use Peter’s link for the main site and this if you wish to start with the flowers.

Peter Zentjens in reply to BLYTHART’s comment, 6 months ago

Thank you Blythart, the next one in line to be put up for sale as print etc here on redbubble will be “Circle of life”. The scan has been made but I need to calibrate my monitor and make sure the scan is clean before I can upload it.

thickblackoutline, 5 months ago

this is so interesting, i really like your style a lot!

Peter Zentjens in reply to thickblackoutline’s comment, 5 months ago

Wow, thanks thickblackoutline.
I can’t wait to see what my style ends up like as a tattoo (see my journal), but , have to be patient for a few months before seeing that.

Cliff Vestergaard, 5 months ago

Iove this . I used to do a lot of drawings like this, then I figured out how use photoshop. I should go back to the drawing board.

pentangled, 5 months ago

how did i not see this before? absolute genius, love the subtle colors, love the surreal aspect, just everything about it…..I’m sold! :o)

Peter Zentjens in reply to Cliff Vestergaard’s comment, 5 months ago

So did I Cliff, but it’s so good to get away from the computer every now and again! Give the old drawing board another shot. You want regret it.

Thanks for the comment and sorry for not responding sooner, see my journal for the details.

Peter Zentjens in reply to pentangled’s comment, 5 months ago

Great! You want the original or just a print? :o)
Just kidding, thanks for your enthusiasm and comment.

fool for looking straight into the sun? blinded by the light… beautiful painting

Peter Zentjens in reply to RSart’s comment, 3 months ago

Blinded by the light, great song by Birmingham 6 and indeed, that was about a fool too.
Thanks for your comment RSart.

excellent composition, and hanging by the cliff really added more drama suggesting vulnerability – great concept
