What jumps out at me in the Eeriness painting is the three trees on a hill in a halo of light. Alluding to three crosses on Golgotha perhaps? Maybe the figure is a pilgrim on a road to enlightenment, a hard road, with obstructions along the way. Notice the tree limbs reaching down to him and the trees blocking his path? No idea what the cat image is about, if indeed it is a cat.
Beyond is intriguing. The title may indicate a passage to another world or plane of existence. The jaunty posture makes me think of 'another adventure' and reminds me of his line "If you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you'll be swept off to". C.S. Lewis' work immediately comes to mind as does Indiana Jones - Temple of doom's leap of faith. Can anyone make out the writing on the side of the cliff? Looks like "and a --- world" to me.
"I walk along the shore and I gaze
At the light that radiates down
Will it travel forth to you
Far across this shimmering sea?"
