Beautiful Sandra, very evocative painting. I like much your figurative and more traditional style, but this one too.

Thank you Heather and Cesare...it was very much a labour of tears....a response to the closing scenes of the opera .

I love it. We are going to Glyndebourne in November to listen to it and see it. Fabulous picture and full of emotion.
