I was a fan of Hieronymus Bosch in college. this is great!
Thanks Kaiju,
Bosch was ahead of his time! Really one of the pioneers of surealism if you think about it.

Amazing!
before i saw it i was going to say what kaiju said it is a neuvo-bosch i,m glad kaiju spelt it for me-
This painting is actually in colour but I photgraphed in sepia which I think looks better. JD

I would like to see this in original … amazing …
I’ll be posting up some detail of the painting very soon since it’s quite large. :))

My first thought was Bosch as well … fantastic work … which one do I look at next?!? They’re all amazing!!
Hello ForestGirl, Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. My early work was heavily influenced by Bosch but even though I still appreciate his work I have moved on and discovered other artists who I admire more. :))

Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous… I enjoy returning the visit.. :-)
Hello Astrid, Lovely name by the way! Yes, you are most welcome anytime for a visit and thank you for the compliment! :))

This is extraordinary. I also see the influence of the Flemish painters,
especially bosch and brueguel. The detail and time devoted to this intricate and
stunning work is evident. Outstanding!!
Hi Julie, Thank you so much for the compliment!!! I was heavily into intricate detail but these days my work is more loose and free. Don’t know if it’s to do with getting old!! :)))

you know I think the only way to truly appreciate the above is to see it in person- for some reason I do not think a picture gives it the justice it deserves- remarkable-
Thank you appreciating this piece Fred. It’s not a “popular” one but I think you’re right, work of this size does lose it’s impact in this kind of environment and you need to view it in person.
