Before, in the dark, the echoes of the night resounded and, I found myself alone, and longing, and all so quiet. Now, here, together, we are entwined and and together in the light - my head-dress unfurls for you, my eyes alight. Your smile, it touches, it tenders. Deeply. *********** Adrianna worked on this painting over the course of countless months whilst living on the wild northern coast of Ireland. It is one of her earlier works, and one into which she clearly poured her heart and soul, and still brings her great joy after all these years. Adrianna feels that she was unwittingly preparing for the chance encounter that brought her together with her husband, that she was projecting a yearning for happiness and love. The artist hopes you can find this sensation within the work. *********** This highly detailed and intricate work is a large 150 x 90cm acrylic-on-canvas painting, mounted on 4cm deep stretchers. It is carefully finished with matt varnish and stored in proper conditions protected from dust. The poem for this painting was written by Adrianna's husband, Alex.
