Description
Another grail of mine, a piece of original color art from the great Charles Vess. This is "In Berenhead Forest" which was created and published as a limited edition print in a series of prints from Stardust.

Huge thanks to Malcolm for making this beauty available. It's even more glorious in person. It has everything I could want in a Vess piece, his signature style evidenced in the trees and bird, the fantasy element present in so much of his work, and characters - Tristran and Yvaine - from one of his best known works, Stardust.

Such a beautiful work by Vess. His focus on the landscape as much as the action is what makes his pieces incredibly special! Congrats, Josh!

This is a glorious Vess watercolor! Loving those gnarled trees and terrain, covered in roots, in the high fantasy setting. Congrats

Even the tree and its roots have personality in Vess' world of fantasy as it must have withstood plenty of trauma through the years to hang onto the side of the rocky cliff and still manage to thrive!

Congrats on finally picking up a Vess!  The trees kinda take center stage here (though they frame the action), but he also paints some amazing trees, so nothing to complain about here.

Forty years since most of us were exposed to Vess' work for the first time via the Web of Spider-Man #1 cover, and everything he has done since then has been wonderful. Congratson this acquisition, Josh, and Happy Hanukkah!

Congrats Josh. I'm sure that in person this piece is beyond magnificent. I love how there is life and movement everywhere. The fantasy scale is expertly executed and I want to believe everything I'm seeing. Framed on the wall, this artwork will demand attention every time you are near it. Wow!
