Our
involvement with Jiri Emmer's Perseus Publishing in the Czech Republic
led to this iconic painting and one to be included in our hardback book "TIME & AGAIN" which we have begun developing.
The painting was originally created during the 1980's when Peter was deep into his
fantastical period and working full time throughout Europe with small
publishers becoming household names, assisted by Peter's input.
The Robert Asprin novels, extremely popular in the U.S.A., were a
favourite of the Perseus list of books and Peter enjoyed being
exposed to their witty brand of humour and responded with a goodly
number decidedly witty visual pictures! Bob Asprin wrote some stand
alone novels (Cold Cash War, Tambu and The Bug Wars) and also the
Duncan and Mallory Illustrated stories, but is best known for his
charmingly witty fantasy series, being the Myth Adventures of Aahz and
Skeeve. He lived in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
Sadly, Bob Asprin died on May 22 2008 - a great loss to the genre of fantasy writing.

Dragon images seem always to sell and Peter has painted a good number which have always been popular. This green Dragon has committed an indiscretion and a body lies prone in the doorway, smoke issuing from the toes of its shoes. This is a picture that Peter had continued to work on and he has just completed an "improvement" period. Now it is truly "finished" and up on the Internet and pride of place in our magazine and catalogue.
The working process for this piece has been interesting to observe, used as a "test bed" for various techniques, transitioning through a pencil visual (which we'll be adding to the list of works below at some point) a small colour "rough" (which is as finely crafted as the larger pieces actually!) then a medium sized painting which was first created digitally but then the Artist felt that oil and acrylic really gave it a better textural quality and so it became a mixed media piece and then finally, some 10 years later, he painted a larger oil and Acrylic entirely organic piece.
Sometimes, an Artist cannot rest until he is fully complete with an idea that just urges him to be personally satisfied with it and, now, he can ffinally say he is "done" with what he has to say on this subject!
Enjoy it on your computer desktop or on your wall in your living space as a dramatic and superb quality painting in an equally magnificent unique studio-designed and made frame - magnificent!
