215 - Peter Ellenshaw Art Puzzle

This beautiful puzzle is based on the original art piece "Winnie the Pooh - Kite Flying Days" by acclaimed artist Peter Ellenshaw (1913-2007), whose artistic career spanned more than seven decades.  After serving in the Second World War as a pilot for the Royal Air Force, Peter returned to the film industry as a matte artist for MGM’s Quo Vadis. In the late 1940s Walt Disney approached Ellenshaw to work on the studio’s first live action feature, Treasure Island. Thus began a professional collaboration and friendship which lasted over 30 years and 34 films.  During the 60s he continued working full time for Disney Studios and collaborated in Stanley Kubrick films. For Mary Poppins, Peter Ellenshaw won an Oscar for Best Special Visual Effects on the landmark film.
