Thomasin, these are interesting as subjects and composition. Do I notice correctly are there two other silhouettes behind the viewed between the two?I do see what you and others perceve and understand the enthusiasm.

You have such talent but yet you allow your self to be held back. What ever is holding you back is not for, rather against you. Eve or the mid-eve is not the way.

It has been some years since the album Hotel California came out. I knew the words well but newer sot think on the meaning. It was time later that I began to see and still today I do see but as through a mist. Have you ever had a real good look at the album cover? Look in the windows. Tell me what you see. Have you listened to the words of the song Hotel California? Some will say that there is nothing wrong with the words. Think what these words are saying:
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
And in the masters chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just cant kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
relax, said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

Mistical words don't you think? Remember, the the woman at the well and the advice she received. Don't forget, It is important, where we draw for our inspiration.

I wish but the best for you

:D Actually it is, only because it was on the car radio this morning!

Mischa, the words really are thought-provoking. The lines that came to me when I first saw this painting were of the spirits dancing:

"Some dance to remember, some dance to forget." And of course the haunting music. That's one thing about this painting: there is definitely music in it.

Thank-you everyone for your generous comments.
