“I have tried to capture the moment when the evening breeze captures the tail of the kite and lifts it higher and higher, almost out of sight. The kite tugs for freedom, but the young boy keeps it firmly anchored in his hand. He concentrates on his task while his sister keeps tracks of the climbing kite.

I wanted to involve the viewer in the painting by leaving the action of the kite to the viewer's imagination. The simplicity of the landscape emphasizes the feeling of freedom while the dark shadows from the clouds create a feeling of mystery."

Signed, numbered and matted and framed. Beautiful piece in what looks like maple wood frame, behind glass . There are some fairy minor insignificant, dark marks on the left side of the outer matting. I took a close-up of those in one of the photos - nowhere near the print itself. There is also a gilt gold band around The edge of the black matting where it is close to the white matting. Not sure if that shows up in the photos, but it is very lovely. The cardboard backing is taped on and looks like it may have been removed at some point. However, I have not removed it. I got this piece at an auction. It is in very very good condition.
