This hit me right in the eye immediately today - it's somewhat akin to the work of Paula Rego: cryptic but enjoyable.

Thanks Robert, have looked up Paula Reago. She reminds me of Balthus. I agree, my images have something in common with hers. Nice to know I&#39;m in company, not sure whether it will get me very far!<br />

I mean, Rego!

As a visual painting it is wonderfully painted - could you give us a clue regarding the symbolism- fascinating !

Hi Lynne, the naked lady who is preparing to go out seems unawareof her vulnerability. The strange little men with their masks represent potetial threats to her....... or something like that!

About the Artist
Tim Burkitt

I am a retired civil engineer, happily turned to painting after a life of cycling, running and highway maintenance. Born in 1933. I like to paint the human condition and take the symbolists and surrealists as my guide. Quirky, thought provoking and disturbing is my aim. Evoking memories.
