Long time following first time asking . Just wondering if you have come across any pictures or paintings of castles that are perched on cliffs with supports going over the edges of cliffs.Sounds like a strange request but seen some years ago but can't find them now thanks for attention and do enjoy your page on here

The Art of Phillip K. Smith III 

Phillip K. Smith III received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design.  From his Palm Desert, CA-based studio, he continues to push the boundaries and confront the ideas of modernist design.  Drawing inspiration from the cold rigidity of the Bauhaus movement, the reductive geometries of minimalism, and the optic sensation of California’s Light and Space movement, Smith III attempts to resolve the complex challenge of finding a natural state of life and spirit within these ideological aesthetic constrictions.  The results are deceptively simple and compelling objects that seem to breathe and move as you observe and interact with them.

Projects identified from the top:

  • Lucid Stead (images 01-03)
  • Quarter Mile Arc (images 04-07)
  • Reflection Field (images 08-10)

Fairytale Castle Ravadinovo in Belgium. The castle has beautiful gardens where you can find peacocks, garden statues and mermaids, a lake with swans, winery and chapel. Its name means “In love with the wind”.
