      Wow, a very wonderful and fanciful idea!

    12. Paul Grand (61 months ago | reply)

      Thank You all for taking the trouble to comment, thought I should say a few words about how this came about.

      Firstly, 'The Tree Man' by Hieronymus Bosch must have been at the back of my mind and another line drawing print by Hogarth about impossible 'paradoxical' perspectives.

      Then on the romantic side with the french lighthouse, the image of "Kathy Kite" remembereing holidays in france, this comes from the French movie,
      'Diva' With its cool Zen music and dream scenes of flight.

      The tree top view is from my bedroom window which faces the sea,
      I can't quite see it though!
      The little girl was from a french antique snapshot, she was originally, fishing!
      There are six differing layers, plus copies of layers.

      Kudos to you! Thanks for the backround on this piece.

      I usually associate Bosch with his triptych "Garden of Earthly Delights". I should check out some more of this works (his woodcuts and various other prints).

      Thanks all, glad the background story helped.
      Katherine, yees, was'n't sure you'd be happy with the namesake.
      But when I'd done it I thought Kite, Kathy, Kathy-Kite!
      et VOILA!

    24. Paul Grand (60 months ago | reply)

      oldflowers4me, she's looking back at herself as a child on holidays, in the south of France, whilst the child is trying, somehow to escape or contact the older self.
