Carmen (Stage) (1938). Everett Shinn (American, 1876-1953). Oil on canvas laid down on panel.
Shinn’s compositions and perspectives were varied, somewhat like Degas. Here, Carmen dances away from the other performers to what appears to be an outdoors stage. It is far from clear where the audience is located or, indeed, if there is an audience.
Endings are…tremendously painful as they are beautiful. Endings are the beginning of a new dawn, as they are the last scene of a story. They represent a turn, a change, something brand new - As we transform, and we move forward - as we’re all meant to do. Endings are taught to be sad - and they can be. But endings can also signify triumph over catastrophe.

My first love showed me everything I couldn’t live without. He also showed me everything I would never tolerate, ever again.
