Allan and Alex, thank-you for your insightful comments. I was feeling unsettled when I painted this, but the symbolism wasn't intentional or conscious, although, I agree with you that it looks very much part of the image. After what I just said in your post, Alex, about painting not being art-therapy, I think I have gone very much against those thoughts in this work.
