Although in the style of Magritte, the main inspiration came from Patrick White's novel, "The Aunt's Story", which tells of an elderly spintster aunt who in her confused mind spends her old age travelling around the world meeting fascinating characters on board cruise ships. Well, according to relatives she sends postcards to at regular intervals.
