Description

"You can't go home again." After more than a dozen years, this painting has returned home with me, and it feels just as good if not better.

The piece has a real presence and is intimidating in person. There's an effective combination of detail next to broad strokes, out-of-focus ethereal figures and high contrast detailed figures. Kent just lets it all go...slices into the wood, layers of paint next to thin areas next to a perfectly incorporated photo stat that frames the piece and was then used on all three series covers. There are thinned paints smeared almost childishly with a finger next to an amazingly refined oil rendering of the human form like only Kent can do.

The art is edge-to-edge on a 20x24" wood panel. Framed in my house, it feels like a gigantic, normally unwelcome guest making sure I keep idle time to a minimum.

The art only image I've got is old and blurry and missing a lot of detail, but the included image of the actual comic book shows much of what's missing. The piece was also published as the cover to the Destiny TPB.

Thanks, Troy!

Awesome. I came close on this one myself, but seems like it was meant to be there with you. I remember the series very well. Never can have enough KW pieces!
