Just imagine that if you were to examine a photograph of a castle from hundreds of years ago ,what images may pour forth into your imagination ? This concept struck me as I recently purchased an amazing large lavishly creative book with castles through the Middle Ages and after. The first one that captured me was of Karlstein Castle which is a Gothic monumental miracle from 1348 in the Czech Republic. Lately I have been reviewing my college interests in anatomy and figure drawing and I allowed the photos to let my mind wander wherever they may. What fun with so many visions that came to my curious mind....namely wandering through the forest in this instance grabbing the vastly overgrown orange flower ,then with her back turned heading off to who knows where ? Those adventures never end even after almost 700 years ! This is an OIL on canvas and I will pay taxes and shipping in the US for this small gem. Please consider framing this in a dark brown frame as the colors in the painting will just glisten. One last thing that I am particularly fond of is the over the shoulder gesture and glance of this ephemeral woman.
